Student Council’s annual Dog Show will take place on Saturday, May 11 at 12 p.m. Owners of dogs are able to
show off their furry friend for a chance to win prizes for their dog.
Owners love showing off their dogs, how smart they are, and all of their dog’s best talents. The event is popular
around the Stow community because all can participate.
The dog’s perform in categories and teachers from the high school will judge each dog. Owners dress their dogs
to make them stand out.
The show takes place on the high school practice soccer fields. The event is open to all citizens of the Stow
community.
There is a five dollar entry fee for those who want their dog to participate, and it is free to watch for everyone.

Many students experience some test anxiety as the ACT quickly approaches. For some the free test provided by the school will be the first time they take the ACT; however, for others this is just an opportunity to raise their previous score. Due to the fact an ACT score could determine the college one goes to, many people stress heavily when it comes to this test. Junior Brandon Gorrell has experienced stress when thinking about the ACT as this will be his first time taking it. “I think it is difficult to prepare for the first time taking the ACT so I’m nervous because colleges rely so heavily on these tests,” Gorrell said
Testing can be difficult for many students whether they have previous experience or not.
Many students will take the ACT before their junior year to give them an edge, apply for College Credit Plus courses and give themselves more opportunities before applying to college.
Junior Michael Payne has taken the ACT and feels more prepared than before, yet he feels it could still be tricky.
Payne said, “I feel more ready this time because I know how the test is structured and I know how to manage my time.”
