NEW HORIZON
By Eman Rashid 3rd Grade I really love my school and I want to share one reason why I am proud to be at New Horizon School — Los Angeles. Last school year, the 4th Grade class created a campaign called “Save the Mon-
Core College Counseling ATTENTION! Families with rising juniors or seniors … Reduce the stress of navigating the college admission process by meeting with NANCI LEONARD, a certified college counselor with 25 years experience
OAKWOOD SCHOOL
By Scarlett Saldaña 8th Grade Oakwood School will begin again on August 28! However, after student orientations and meeting new students, arch Butterfly.” The campaign’s goal was to help save the Monarch from extinction. The students and their teacher worked really hard, because they cared. The campaign was successful and they raised $1,186. The 54 supporters received milkweed seeds. The reason why Monarch sent these seeds, is that milkweed plants are the only plants butterflies lay their eggs on and eat from when they are caterpillars. Remaining funds will be used to create an official “Monarch Waystation” at our school to support butterflies and other pollinators. It is our hope that together we can save the Monarch butterflies and the environment.
many of the grades will go on their own separate class trips. First, the eleventh graders will go to Northern California to visit the Russian River and do some kayaking. Then, soon after
SECTION ONE
they get back, the seventh graders arrive at the beautiful Kings Canyon, where they will sleep near a quiet, mumbling stream. Lastly, the ninth graders will go to Kennedy Meadows, an annual retreat and camp high in the Sierra Nevada mountains. As always, these grade trips were created to encourage student
bonding, social and emotional development, and experiential and outdoor learning. A few weeks after the grade trips, Oakwood will have an all-school carnival, including rides, food stations, concerts, and more. This part of the year is certainly the best time to spend with friends and create new ones.

not too bad, chill indie songs. The same cannot be said for the rest of the album. Listening to it, I stopped halfway through because I was disappointed in the lack of imagination. The National decided to try an experiment, which is fine. But The National excel at indie, calm music, and they struggle to break past that format. Songs like “Roman Holiday” and “Her Father in the Pool” feel lazy compared to the group’s other albums. When the group tries to be experimental, it’s hard to listen to and a bit uneven. The song “Roman Holiday,” which includes spoken word, sounds almost like a Tom Waits rip-off — it just does not work. I had high hopes for this album, but ultimately was bummed out. Review: 0 out of 10. Elijah Small is a student at Pilgrim School.
