For most of their school lives, female students have to deal with the constant struggle of periods. At such a young age, it is hard for students to correctly track their menstrual cycles and the lack of period products available causes issues. “I think that everywhere I go, I will always need to carry extra products just in case,” sophomore Justyn Grayce Mocero said. “I’ve noticed that a lot of public restrooms do try to provide feminine products but you would usually have to pay for them & most of the time I don’t carry a few quarters with me.” Photo Credit: Naila Yazdani

Although CCSD has resorted to a new form of grading, social studies teacher Jessica Kelly has found ways to ease students into the world of summative assignments by assigning a Native American drawing assignment. “It’ll all depend on how the teachers assign summative assessments,” Kelly said. “If they can differentiate the assignments and allow more opportunities for it, then that allows an opportunity for more students to be successful. You can do speeches, debates, discussions, drawings, multiple-choice tests, essays, so many options, all of which can be summative.” Photo Credit: Hannah Paine

Sophomores are broadening their horizons by reading iconic works by Shakespeare and Marjane Satrapi, in hopes of developing literary knowledge and perspectives. “One of the benefits of literature is that it helps us to come to terms with some of these difficult topics with humanity, and shows us that there is a way forward. English 10 teacher Virginie Guillemette said. Becoming self-actualized means taking control of yourself and your destiny, and you cant do that if you are sheltered from reality,” “It also helps students to develop and exercise their sense of compassion at a crucial point in their development, before their worldviews become fixed and static.” Graphics Credit: Hannah Paine
