        Five friends throw a DIY homecoming to kick off senior year

        Justice Seay, Editor|October 16, 2020

        The Little Moments:

Sharing a laugh, seniors Shealee King and Jaden Potance chat in between taking pictures. “It felt better having our own little version of homecoming because it made the world feel more normal than it actually is. It was special because it was unique to our friend group, but I disliked how empty the scenery felt without the rest of our friends and classmates,” King said. Though the homecoming wasn’t as large as usual, going in a small group with close friends allowed the girls to have more intimate bonding moments throughout the night.

        Many students struggle finding books that align with their interests, making reading a chore instead of a hobby. It is important to not give up the search for the right book. “I think the key to getting reluctant readers to read is to get to know what interests them and help them find a good book,” B.Ed. and master's in social work Pamela Demmon said. “There is nothing like the feeling of getting lost in a story you love but sometimes it takes a few tries to find the right fit.”
