FREERICE ONGOING The United Nations World Food Programme, a humanitarian organization, is saving lives and building a better future for the hungry through an app that helps them afford grains of rice called Freerice.

How does Freerice work? It is a free app to download that allows everyone to donate 10 grains of rice to families in need by answering questions correctly playing a multiple-choice quiz game.

A group of high schoolers at Arcadia High School in California created Project Giving Thanks. They aim to spread positivity to essential workers during the coronavirus pandemic.

Happy New year!

Surely you started off the year right and are excited for what it can bring you.

The month of finals has been tough for me and a lot of my peers. I hope it wasn't too difficult and stressful for everyone.

At least This semester is over and you can relax for a bit.

Don't stress too much and enjoy things outside of school as well.

YOUR EDITOR, MAHEEN <3
