![“[It was] kind of [beneficial], I dont think a lot of students are really comfortable with talking to adults most of the time.” Clifford Hubbard, 9.](https://www.wjpitch.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/iQXjwa3JmL5CPVioYA7jn8DAPLzBoB5nJ1aIweYa-scaled.jpg)
![The AASU joined together to honor the popular Asian holiday, White Day, through an origami flower sale held March 13-17 in front of both the main office and the cafeteria. “White Day is a holiday celebrated in Asian countries (Japan, Korea, China, Vietnam, Taiwan) where people reciprocate gifts to those who gave them something on Valentines Day. Thats why it occurs March 14th, a month after Valentines [Day]. White gifts such as marshmallows, white chocolate, white flowers, etc. are usually the popular gifts, AASU President and junior Ziqing Chu said.](https://www.wjpitch.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/ybSavMND2AkrvLPXGaOdYMS1YsCLldwmRbaoq187-scaled.jpg)
![A bulletin board in Jeremy Butlers room is covered with drawings and printed creations made by students. My favorite project is the one I do each semester in both Ancient Mediterranean and Medieval History, I pick a topic and have students draw cartoons. This past semester in Ancient Mediterranean Civilizations, I picked the Odyssey [to inspire their cartoons]. They’re encouraged to be a little humorous; they don’t have to stick to the time period or script exactly as long as they know the stops. It’s fun because if their art is bad, it’s entertaining [and] sometimes it’s so bad, it’s good. Other times it’s so good, you hang [them] up [and] use them as decorations for your class, Butler said.](https://www.wjpitch.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/6aCqY9Wj5OBHW857Am6LvKy1e9okEqc8AlHFduA1.jpg)
![Senior Tiffany Gibson has dinner with her parents and her nine year old sister. Gibsons family has been her largest source of support throughout her treatment process.
[My dad] helped me through it. He was the one who’d take me to my doctor’s visits, he was trying to make me try to take my medication on time, even though he’d get angry when I didn’t take it. I had to do blood work, so he would always find out. He would always try to get me to take it and remind me, Gibson said.](https://www.wjpitch.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/92iA4Tg7fGWMhmk9DKWf7Q6UQQ4p0LYeBobwwvV7.jpg)
