Learning During COVID: A Cut-Off Experience

Written by Amy Park, Lonestar Writer While the 20-month experience most students lived through was mostly filled with sleeping (or not sleeping), procrastinating, and watching TikToks, the increasing rate of high school dropouts presented the flip side of the nearly 2-year long quarantine and the difficulties students had while struggling…

Lakeview Centennial Gaming Fundraising

Written by Philip Pham, Chapter President of Lakeview Centennial High School My Lakeview Centennial chapter recently held a super-engaging fundraiser last month with another club at our school called the anime club. We did this by hosting a Nintendo game tournament! We had many people come, 3 TV screens for switches, games of Mario Kart & Super Smash Bros, & profits of over $75! The event truly showed how fundraising didn’t always have to be a serious matter that is targeted to merely convention attendance but also a way to host socials, club collaborations in maximizing opportunities, and memories of bonding with friends. Thus, the anime club & my JSA chapter are planning to continue the game tournaments for months to come for all of our values of fundraising, fighting political apathy via conventions, and engagement!
