Mr. Kulenych has been teaching at Law for 18 years. He teaches Journalism 1, 2 and 3, Humanities, and Broadcast Journalism. He coaches the girls tennis team and is a coach for this year’s Powder Puff game, which returns after being cancelled last year due to COVID-10. Advocate News Editor Olivia Augustine interviewed Kulenych about the Powder Puff game. 

Olivia Augustine: What is Powder Puff?

Mr. Kulenych: Powder Puff is a girls flag football game between juniors and seniors at Law and Foran that is played the week of Thanksgiving. Powder Puff has a rich history in Milford and is one of the really special Thanksgiving traditions that we have at Law.

OA: When and where is Powder Puff?

MK: This year’s game is scheduled for Tuesday, November 23rd at 6:00 at Law.

OA: How can you join Powder Puff?

MK: Permission slips are available in Ms. Russell’s room (Room 102). Girls have until Friday, November 5th to turn in their permission slips.

OA: How is Powder Puff running differently this year?

MK: Like everything, COVID has slightly changed the way Powder Puff is running this year. We are having 10 practices starting on November 10th and we will have the same social distancing and mask protocols as fall sports teams had.

OA: What is your favorite thing about Powder Puff?

MK:  I love everything about Power Puff. It’s an opportunity for junior and senior girls to play a sport they’ve never played before in front of thousands of people and compete against our crosstown rival. There’s nothing like the atmosphere of a Powder Puff game night. The girls work so hard at practice all for a one-game season and every game is a fun, intense battle. The camaraderie that the girls build in such a short period of time is incredible to see. After not having a game last year, we are all extra excited to get back on the field this year.
