Social Studies teacher Steve Klawiter will have his AP World History class take the digital exam this May. He said he looks forward to seeing how his students will perform on the exam. “Its been very clear theyre moving towards digital. Since the pandemic started, theyve been putting the pieces in place to go digital, Klawiter said. “I think that ultimately it’s going to be more beneficial because with systems like Canvas and Google Classroom, students are used to more digital activities and less handwriting activities.” 
Nine AP exams will transition to digital format in 2025, additional six in 2026

Before the 2023 carnival, sophomore Vaughn McFarland and sophomore Julia Woody put out nail polish and remover. McFarland ran the tattoo booth where they applied temporary tattoos on the guests, mainly guests. “I like getting to be with the little kids,” McFarland said.

The Class of 2027 will host the Winter Carnival Jan. 20 from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. as a fundraising event. The Winter Carnival made a comeback in 2023 after a three-year break due to COVID-19. 

This year is Assistant Principal Matt Borzillo’s first year at Lafayette. He said he is looking forward to attending the carnival.

“The best part is going to be seeing the little kids come and play the games and get their faces painted,” Borzillo said. “That’ll be a lot of fun.”

Borzillo has seen carnivals similar to Lafayette’s at other schools but said he thinks this one is going to be on a different level and larger than other ones he’s seen.

“We need a lot of volunteers so I’ve sent out an email to all freshmen with the link to sign up and then there’s a sophomore, junior and senior link,” Borzillo said.

The carnival, as of Jan. 18, has 69 open morning volunteer shifts and 71 open afternoon volunteer shifts. Students can sign up in StudentSquare to volunteer.
