Scriptwriter: CJ Mitchell

Edited by: Wendy le

Guests: Devangana, Ellamay, Matt, Jiya, Roshan, Stella and Laura Barron

As the only International Baccalaureate (IB) elementary school in Coppell ISD, Pinkerton Elementary aims to highlight every culture within its school through Arts and Culture Night. Students celebrate with traditional dances or food from their culture for their friends, family and staff to enjoy. In this episode, we speak to students about their involvement in Pinkerton’s last Arts and Culture Night. 

Welcome to Pinkerton Podcast, a short podcast series created to honor the legacy of Pinkerton. In October, Coppell ISD trustees voted to consolidate the school following the 2024-25 school year due to the district’s budget deficit. Our podcast serves to spotlight the traditions, classes and nuisances directly from its students and teachers.

About the Contributors
Wendy Le
Wendy Le, Executive Social Media Editor
Wendy Le is in her third year in The Sidekick as a senior and the executive social media editor. Throughout her time in this program, she’s found joy in doing things and going to places she never thought she would’ve: standing on the sidelines, in the back of the Black Box Theatre, political rallies, learning how to use Adobe, taking photos, making social media graphics and writing features.  Le does have hobbies outside of D115. When she’s not scouring to get things edited or feeding The Sidekick social media accounts, she likes to brain rot on TikTok, craft new Pinterest boards, go thrifting and take photos on her digital camera. If you see her in person, she is likely to “meow” at you (unironically).  You can contact her at [email protected] for any inquiries.

Minori Kunte, Art Editor/Cartoonist
Minori Kunte is a senior and the art editor and staff cartoonist for The Sidekick.  She originally joined The Sidekick to grow in her writing skills, but throughout her three years in the program she has found a love for design. Outside of the newsroom, she spends her time singing for Coppell Choir in both Madrigals and A Capella. In her free time, she enjoys painting scenic locations and making vlogs of her vacations for herself and her family to watch. Her favorite movie to rewatch is The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. She enjoys watching Anne With An E and The 100, while snacking on Brookside Acai Dark Chocolate and Skinny Pop. She feels inspired when looking at art made by Anna-Laura Sullivan and Bob Ross. You can contact Minori at [email protected] or on Instagram (@minorikunte).
