It’s the most wonderful time of the year! The long-awaited countdown to winter break is upon us. Every student knows the stress that comes during the few weeks between fall and winter break. This short time is filled with assignments, tests, projects, and more in an attempt by teachers to cram as much as they can before all the students forget about it over the long break. To mark the end of this time and to celebrate the break, Stroudsburg is holding the 16th annual Holiday Show. Shari Griswold is going to be organizing the show once again. She also had help from Sarah Cepin, who makes all the music tracks and videos. “ I look forward to the holiday show every year! It never disappoints! — Maddy Dullen, '25

 

As the holiday season approaches and the looming boredom of the break comes in, the Editors of the Mountaineer have some personal favorite things to keep winter interesting. Whether it be a movie binge, new food to eat, or just advice to keep in mind, we’ve got you covered.  Olivia Celano Movies/ TV shows  “Son of Batman” “The Dead Poets Society”  “10 Things I Hate About You” “Percy Jackson and the Olympians”  Early 2000s cartoons Editor-In-Chief Olivia Celano, ’25, posing for a picture.

After losing a very close match against Freedom 39-31 on Tuesday, Stroudsburg Wrestling made a statement the very next day.  Travelling to Dieruff High School, the Mountaineers dismantled the Huskies, 57-13. This season, they’ve been back and forth with wins and losses, but they keep losses close and wins are blowouts. Both William Allen and Dieruff lost to Stroudsburg by a combined 95 points, while the Mountaineers have only lost by 27.  Albert Bialasiewicz, ‘26, started off the match pinning his opponent in 30 seconds, rewarding his team with 6 points, while Shaun Evans, ‘26, pinned his in 1:30. Chase Fetherman, ‘27, won by tech fall, and the teams’ 139 pounder, Zach Berwick, ‘25, won his match in 48 seconds by pin.
