Painting their pumpkins during FCCLA’s annual pumpkin painting meeting, juniors Aki Javier and Rizzael Maniego work alongside each other. The members were able to choose their own designs when decorating their pumpkins. “I wanted to win the best pumpkin [award],” Maniego said. “I tried painting Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh and I feel that it turned out pretty good despite the short amount of time we were given.”

FCCLA works on their STAR projects, NHS hosts a joint meeting with Key Club, and Crochet Club continues working on their baby mittens.
 Posing for a photo at last year’s  Fall Rally South, Key Club members captured their excitement while at Six Flags Magic Mountain. This year, they are prepared to go once again and strengthen the bonds within the club. “The very first time I went, the first ride we went on we decided to go on it as our starter because it didn’t look that scary,” President Ella Abilar said. “It ended up being like the most terrifying ride in the park, it was really scary and freaked us out. Since then, it’s been a tradition to make that the first ride we go on every single time we go.”

The ramifications of another Trump term are disastrous and could threaten democracy.
 Education is a privilege that students always grumble about. Instead of focusing solely on the negative aspects, it is better to realize how lucky students are to have an education.
