Each year the cheer and dance teams travel to compete at a national competition. The dance team travels to the National Dance Alliance’s competition (NDA) and cheer travels to the National Cheerleaders Associations competition (NCA).

Both of these competitions serve as an opportunity for the athletes to compete against teams from across the country.

Cheer coach Jen Ivey highlights how important it is that they get the opportunity to showcase their routines on a bigger stage.

“It gives them another platform to be able to highlight their skills and what they’re able to do, and have an opportunity to celebrate themselves and all of the successes that they’ve had together,” Ivey said.

From three-foot-long Saturn rockets to sets with t

From three-foot-long Saturn rockets to sets with thousands of pieces, building Lego sets has become a popular pastime for many students.

Freshman Jack Tracy has been building Lego sets since he was two years old, initially using them as a way to relieve stress when he was in the hospital.

“I got into Lego when I was younger, around the age of two, because Lego was a way for me to relieve my stress when I was in the hospital when I got diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia which is a very rare cancer that is usually found in adults and not really found in kids,” Tracy said.

Tracy loves Lego sets because they are a fun way to foster architectural skills.

“I believe that [Lego sets are] gaining popularity because they’re very fun,” Tracy said. “Second, it’s very architectural, and so if people want to get into architecture or some sort of building [activity,], they can learn by building with Lego and learn how to put things together to balance and stabilize everything.”

For students coming into school daily, navigating

For students coming into school daily, navigating body image issues, or worrying about flaws in one’s appearance can be a challenge. For junior Kait Hood, feeling insecure has been an issue for a long time.

“Everyone is insecure about something, even if they’re not open about it,” Hood said. “I’ve always had my issues. I mean, one will get better and another shows up, or they all just come at once. So it is constantly changing.”

According to Everyday Health, 73% of teen girls are self conscious, and 69% of teen boys are self conscious. Michigan Health specifies that this insecurity mostly manifests due to skin and weight problems.

Similarly, what students wear can be affected by their body image. For junior Gabe Sommerfeld, he alters what he wears out because of how he feels about his body.

“I feel like I’m a lot more concerned with what I wear,” Sommerfeld said. “I feel like I want to wear something that’s not gonna show off a lot because I don’t really like what’s underneath.”

Stem4, a teen mental health center, states that nearly 50% of young people (ages 12-21) feel that if they don’t improve their body, people will dislike them
