Western Wayne Fashion students are thrilled to invite the community to their annual Catwalk Fashion Show on Tuesday, May 23, at 7 p.m. in the high school auditorium. This year the show titled “Fashion Flix” is a dedication to Western Wayne’s 50th Anniversary Celebration. Doors will open at 6:15 p.m. The admission fee for adults is $2 dollars. All proceeds will be donated to a local food pantry. Students get in for free. The students will also host the show for an audience of their peers during the school day on Tuesday, May 23.
Pieces made by students in grades 9 through 12 will be featured. The students also worked in teams led by senior fashion students Analise DeLeon-Bello, Angelina Salvatore, and Ava Daniels. The feature fashions of the Catwalk came from an inspiration of movies from the 1970s to the present which honors the decades of Western Wayne’s 50 years. The show will also feature some video clips of Western Wayne alumni who are working in the fashion industry.
The students worked on a set timeline to design a series of pieces for the competition portion of the show. The winner of the competition will be announced at the show on the evening of Tuesday, May 23.
All students involved did an amazing job with this year’s theme Fashion Flix. The student designers used popular decade flicks as inspiration for their garments. The garments were designed to be street wear, not costumes, with the flicks providing the theme and music only for the competition.
The decade themed flicks included Rocky to represent 1970-80; Dirty Dancing to represent 1980-90; Harry Potter to represent 1990- 2000; Avatar to represent 2000-2010; and Stranger Things to represent 2010-2020.
Colleen Carmody, show director and fashion teacher, feels proud of all of her students—especially her three seniors who have their collections featured in the show.
Senior Analise DeLeon-Bello’s collection has the theme EcoLeon which represents how sustainability in fashion is important.
“You can use materials and repurpose them for a variety of things,” Analise explained.
Her favorite garment from the collection is a transformation piece.
“It is symbolic to me,” Analise said. “It is a gray dress that represents industrialized pollution and then when it is released it turns into another green dress that represents how nature overcomes.”
Analise also headed up the competition team called Carmody’s Angels for the show. She feels very proud of her team and especially enjoyed the dress inspired by Dirty Dancing that they made. She described the dress as yellow with flower appliqués on it.
“It was the most fun dress out of every piece that we made,” she explained. “We were able to have a lot of creativity in making it.”
Analise looks forward to continuing to grow her creative skills in college next year. She will attend Albright College and major in fashion design. She is interested in both the business and design aspects of a career in fashion.
Fellow senior Angelina Salvatore will also attend Albright College next year with a major in costume design. She always enjoyed fashion from a young age when she would color designs in coloring books. She remembers getting fabric for holiday gifts growing up and falling in love with her first sewing machine.
“I enjoy making pieces that are unique,” Angelina said.
Her senior collection has many such pieces. It is called Ang-Vant-Guard, a play on the words of the French term avant-garde. As the title suggests, her collection features a lot of unconventional fashion.
“Since I want to major in costume design, I used this opportunity to experiment with different things,” she explained.
One piece in her collection that stands out to her is her prom dress which she made from scratch. It is a floor-length gown with an olive green metallic underlay and a fully-boned corset top.
The piece is especially meaningful because it was the first project in her freshman design class that she drew and then was able to create in her senior year.
“I’m really proud of my prom dress,” she said.
Angelina also felt proud to work to lead her group Backstreet Girlies for the competition portion of the show. She especially liked working on the team’s Stranger Things inspired piece because of the challenges it presented.
They created a garment made of vinyl and bubble wrap. Angelina described the challenges of sewing those types of materials together.
“It took some time to get the materials to go together on the sewing machine, but once we figured it out, we were really happy with the results.”
Fellow senior team member Ava Daniels also worked to lead the Backstreet Girlies for the competition. Ava was really happy with how her group excelled at working together.
“If someone was down in the group, then someone else would help out right away,” Ava explained.
Ava’s senior collection is called AvFall’n. It is a play on words for her name and the fall tones that are featured in her ensemble of pieces. All of her garments have fall tones of yellow, brown, etc. She loved how all of her pieces turned out. One piece that she really likes is a V-neck summer dress in yellow. She used two different patterns for the dress including a top portion that she created herself.
Ava plans to attend Thomas Jefferson University for fashion design.
Carmody and her students feel so grateful to be able to invite the community to their evening show on Tuesday, May 23, and they look forward to creating more designs to share with the Western Wayne community in the future.
We are hosting Junior Information Night on Tuesday, May 2nd at 6:00p.m. in the high school auditorium. School Counselors will present information to parents and students on: Choosing a College/ Training Program, College Cost, College Admissions Process, SATs/ACTs Registration and Deadlines, General Financial Aid Information, and other important information. All juniors and their parents should plan to attend.

High School Hosts Graduation for Class of 2025June 13, 2025Wildcat Pride was bursting from the audience at Western Wayne’s Veterans Memorial Auditorium on the evening of Friday, June 6, for the graduation of the class of 2025. This is a bright class of students who have excelled in academics, athletics, and club activities having gained a total of $6,075,675 in college scholarships and grants at their recently held senior night. Student speakers at graduation gave their classmates advice for the exciting and new journey that lies ahead of them for their very bright futures.Senior Lillian Maros, president of the class of 2025, gave the welcome address.Lillian ended her speech in a unique way by having her class honor the many role models who have shaped their life journey thus far.“I was once told that everyone, at least once, deserves to be on the receiving end of a round of applause,” she said. “As a theater kid myself, I couldn’t agree more, and I ask any parents, guardians, siblings, teachers, and administrators to stand, and let our class applaud you for all of the opportunities you have given us.”Later, Lillian presented the Class Mantel to Audrey Agnello, junior class president.Following the presentation of the mantle, the class salutatorian and valedictorian gave speeches.Senior David Elias III, Hamlin, was named the salutatorian of the class of 2025 with a final overall GPA of 100.41.
David is the son of Carrie and David Elias.Along with being an excellent academic student, David was involved in Western Wayne clubs and activities including: FBLA, basketball, PBIS, and track and field.
In the future, he plans to attend Marywood University with an undecided major.
“My favorite memory from high school was attending the FBLA state conference as a freshman in Hershey,” David said. “While at Western Wayne, I’ve learned important skills such as critical thinking and time management that will help me through college and beyond.”In his salutatorian speech, David let his classmates know it is ok to be undecided about their futures as long as they follow their inner drive.“We have the ability to blaze our own paths different from what our parents did and what others expect of us,” he said. “As long as we follow what truly matters to us, we will get where we are supposed to go.”David summed up the evening with a quote from LeBron James, “Education is the most important thing in life. No matter what you do, you have to be educated, and you have to learn.”He then ended his speech with these encouraging words to his class, “We are closing a major chapter in our lives, but with the hope that we will be able to keep learning throughout whatever endeavors come next with the goal of reaching greatness.”Fellow classmate Lia Hartman, Lake Ariel, was named valedictorian of the class of 2025 with a GPA of 100.94.Lia is the daughter of Chad and Mayumi Hartman.Lia also has done numerous activities both inside and outside of the classroom at Western Wayne. She has participated in NHS, Student Council, Marching Band, serving as a drum major her junior and senior years; District and Region Band, Envirothon, Science Olympiad, and FBLA.In the future, she plans to attend The University of Scranton as a biochemistry major and then attend medical school to pursue pathology.“My favorite moment throughout high school was seeing the smile on people’s faces after having a good field show,” Lia said. “I believe the teachers at Western Wayne have pushed me to succeed and provided me with many meaningful opportunities.”
In her valedictorian speech, Lia reminisced about how in her freshman year when she saw that she was ranked first in her class that she had a fleeting thought about what it would be like to deliver a graduation speech. At that time, all she felt was anxiety, but now faced with the reality, she said she felt nothing but honor and pride to get to deliver this speech to her class.Her speech focused on the idea of how motivation is a key aspect in life especially when facing a milestone moment like graduation.“Motivation is a truly powerful force,” Lia said. “It is a psychological drive and combination of our values, goals, and beliefs. It pushes us toward success.”Lia said in preparation of her speech she asked many of her classmates to discuss with her their motivations and found them to be a variety of forces including God, drive for success in sports and academics, along with wanting to inspire others to work hard, and to make family proud.She quoted one of her favorite books, The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, “What makes the desert beautiful is that somewhere it hides a well.”She told her classmates to not lose hope if they find themselves lost in their journey after high school at times, “As long as you latch onto your own motivations, you will continue to trek forward towards the future, and you will undoubtedly find your own well.”She then left her classmates with these words of advice, “Always remind yourself why you decided to go on this journey in the first place. Never let go of that initial spark. I encourage you to go out there and become the inspiration that gives others their sparks.”
Following the speeches, all graduates received their diplomas and were presented as the Class of 2025 to the audience. They then sang the school’s alma mater one last time as a class on stage. The Western Wayne School District wishes all the graduates the best in their bright futures.
