Go Spartans!!!
Dear Collegiate Student Body and Faculty, You have been lied to. You have been told that the best dessert at Sage are the rice-crispy treats. Don’t get me wrong, the rice-crispy treats are to die for but you’ve been living a lie if you think they are the best dessert at Sage. It recently came to my attention that Miss Keisha’s apple dumplings have been severely under appreciated and are completely underrated. I must give credit to where credit is due, these apple dumplings are “top of the cave” (@ Mr. Mykel) delicacies that will no longer go unnoticed! So next time you’re perusing through the desserts, pick up an apple dumpling and experience the pleasure of biting into a crispy cinnamon delight that is the apple dumpling. Not in Spartan Voice this year but still want to contribute? No worries! The staff here at the Voice is happy to accept work from any Upper School student so that it be considered for publication. Email your submissions to Mrs. Cunningham: acunningham@wcsks.com, or submit an entry to any senior staffer via email.

Get Spotify Premium (not the student version). Always buy guacamole at Chipotle (even though it comes with E. Coli now). Remodel the girls’ bathroom at Collegiate so that there will actually be multiple functioning sinks and soap dispensers. Buy a replica of Hogwarts Castle, hire the entire cast of Harry Potter (except for Snape RIP), and pretend you go to Hogwarts. Pay NASA to deport Donald Trump to the moon. Always travel First Class anywhere and everywhere you want. Be the really good person that buys their parents everything they deserve. I guess in the end it shouldn’t even matter because you’re not going to win.

Spartan Basketball Tomorrow ‘merica THEME WCS vs. Atchinson DEAN & DELUCA....new coffee spot? Coffee, candy, and macarons, Oh my! You can find all these heavenly snacks at Dean and Deluca. The mostly East Coast grocery store has opened in Wichita. A small shop that has a coffee bar and carries different candies and snacks. It's a very simple store but has nice couches and a coffee table for those waiting for their coffee orders or to enjoy your snack. The workers are very nice and the prices of coffee are very affordable. A warning to all Starbucks lovers, though the coffee is very good but it is much stronger than Starbucks. Those who usually add a shot of espresso, I warn you to try it without the extra shot. The Spartan Voice crew went to Dean and Deluca and found it to be very satisfying. I highly recommend that all coffee lovers go and try their coffee and their chocolate covered espresso beans. In the shops at Tallgrass.
