Club Corner Students volunteer for our sphere

Every Monday, Volunteer for Our Sphere meets in order to inform students about the dangers of pollution and environmental changes. Sophomore Francesca Sisk, who is the president of Volunteer for Our Sphere Club, made the decision to start the club.

“The club speaks out amongst problems in the planet and ways to look out for it,” said junior Natalya Lembo, secretary of Volunteer for Our Sphere.
Sisk was a part of a youth-led organization outside of school called Valley Changemakers, which led her to start the club at Daniel Pearl Magnet High School (DPMHS).
“I thought it was really fun,” Sisk said. “We would go volunteer, pick up trash, plant trees and collaborate with a lot of other organizations. I thought it was really fun and a good thing.”
November 2022 marked the beginning of Volunteer for Our Sphere. The sponsor for Volunteer for our Sphere is English teacher Chris McAdamis. They meet every Monday in room 14 and discuss ideas to help out the school’s environment. The club was scheduled to hold a campus beautification event on April 15 where students could help clean up the school and make it a better environment for students and staff.
The club encourages students to help in revamping the school. Students can participate by planting flowers and aiding the effort to pick up trash around the campus.
“I want to help out our community and planet as a whole,” Lembo said. “I feel every little thing counts and no matter what you can always help out.”

Six water fountains at Daniel Pearl Magnet High School were closed off and shut down in January due to the unsafe levels of lead. The Los Angeles Unified School District sent out a letter providing information to parents and students on March 7 of the closure, despite the school shutting down the water fountains more than a month prior. It is not know when the school water fountains will be fixed or replaced. It is also unclear how long it would take to fix or replace the water fountains.
