001It's time to wake up, Warriors. The Keystones are quickly approaching. Stay tuned to find out more about these important tests. The chemistry classes are learning the different types of physical and chemical changes. We will show you what kind of labs they are conducting in class. All this and more on today's episode of Wake Up Warriors, live from Penn Trafford High, this is Wake Up Warriors. Wake Up Warriors starts now. Good morning, Pentraford, and welcome to this morning's edition of Wake Up Warriors. Today is Tuesday, May 6. I'm Bren Urban, and I'm Maddie Longo. We have a lot to cover, so let's dive in. With school winding down, the math, bio, and reading classes are preparing for the Keystones. The Keystones are a state test that all students must pass to graduate. We spoke with teachers
002to see how they are preparing the students for the upcoming tests. This year, in all of our subjects, which is literature, um, algebra, and bio, we have different remediation plans for students. Um, for first-time test takers, they are doing everything in class. So, they'll be working with their teacher. um they're taking a common assessment at the end so we can look at the data and focus in on the skills that each student needs to improve on before the exam. All right. Um in our classes right now, we're really kind of amping kids up to take the Keyston or to retake the Keyston. Um a lot of students are very intelligent, but they're just missing a small skill or um some type of a trick to pass the test. One way they are preparing us for
003the keystones is by going over stuff from like day one and then continuously um reviewing them every day and then every other day we try to go on to a new topic to learn or if we forgot something they will go over it with us. Uh my advice to you is especially in the literature section to kind of chunk the text uh to annotate take notes on the side as you're reading if it allows you or take notes on your scratch paper. Okay. The best advice I could give is to try your best. These tests can be difficult at times, but sometimes it's about persevering through and showing yourself what you are capable of doing. Um, all of you have been prepared for these exams. We've worked on things in class, so now it's time
004to show everyone what you know. This has been Delaney Price reporting for PTV. Congratulations to the 2025 2026 student union members. Please vote for your class representatives today.

This week, the Forensics 1 classes are holding a mock trial to try and determine
006what really happened to JFK in the Daily Plaza on the day of his assassination. Students take on roles of many different people who were involved with the case. Um, what we're doing that we do it every year is we uh we put Lee Harvey Oswald on trial for being the lone assassin of President Kennedy in 1963. And uh it's just a great opportunity for students to take um scientific and historical information and have a little competition, have a little bit of battle. Um and so we will be uh having a trial on Monday, May 5th, and a second trial on Tuesday, May 6th in the media center. Um, so we're just giving Lee Harvey Oswald his day in court uh to see if he is indeed uh the lone assassin or if it was a
007conspiracy and it really comes down to science. The literacy club is holding a book drive. We spoke with club president Owen Ticker to find out more. So the literary club is going to be hosting a book drive starting on Monday, April 28th. There will be a box inside of Mr. War Zeniacs room 142 where you can drop off any used books. Donating five books will result in one community service hour which can be used for regular community service or for NHS hours. Preparing for the end of the year final. Miss Aston's chemistry classes are working hard to review all of their units. Yesterday they worked on the physical and chemical changes and their differences to show physical changes. They cooked pancakes to show the chemical change and they mixed yeast, water, and just soap to
008make elephant toothpaste. This is a fun chemical reaction that foams over the beaker showing the students the substances changes. Attention seniors, surveys will be sent to your email over the next few weeks so that final transcripts can be sent out. Here's Mrs. Submire with more information. Seniors, you will be receiving two emails over the course of the next couple weeks um that have to do with graduation requirement information. Uh one of the emails is the final transcript uh request email from Mrs. Wolf Hope. All of you that are attending a college will need a final transcript sent to that college. If you do not complete this form for Mrs. Wolf Hope, your transcript will not be sent. If it is not sent, then colleges can withhold financial aid. They may also um not allow you
009to schedule for either the fall or the spring semester. Um so please make sure that you complete this form. All of those transcripts will be sent out uh probably a week after graduation. The second survey that you're going to get will be coming from me. This is the graduation survey. This survey gives us the information that we need to report to the state about what you are planning on doing postgraduation. Please make sure that you complete both of these surveys. You will receive them several times over the next couple of weeks. If you've already completed them, do not do them a second time. You only have to do them once. Thank you.
