FOOD AT EVERY EVENT. Darien Hulls goal is to “try to get food at every major school event” because he “understands the need for good nutrition” he said.

The 9th grade elected group elections took place Sept. 16 during X-period, and candidates gave one to two-minute speeches about their plans if elected as representatives. The speeches were delivered to the whole class and the advisors. Their ideas were welcomed with warm applause.
