What dress-up day would you like to add to homecoming week this year?
A ssembled and photos by Devyn Kennedy
“I would like to see ‘gender switch day’ because it’s fun and my brother left a lot of clothes when he went to college.”
“This year I want ‘gangster day’ so everyone can let their inner gangster show.”
“‘Animal day!’ That way, you can let your inner beast come out.”
“‘Pajama day,’ so you have a reason to dress down and be comfy.”
“‘Superhero day,’ because everyone wants to be a superhero.”
It’s easy to make the world a better place On Tuesday, boys golf team members put competition aside for a few minutes at the second round of the City Meet to help make the world a little better. This was no small feat—competition has never been more intense at these meets than this year. But nonetheless, all four teams united to support former WHS assistant Ken Martens, who is battling stage-four melanoma by wearing ribbons in his honor. Hear me. . . It is this kind of kindness that makes the world a better place. Maham Shah Each one of us has our own special role, and I have learned to never underestimate the impact of a single act of kindness.

someone you don’t know in the halls, kindness can come in all shapes and sizes. Who doesn’t love a win-win-win situation? The person receiving your act of kindness benefits from your help. You, yourself, get to experience the joy of helping others. And last, but not least, our world becomes a better place. And you don’t have to wear a ribbon to show kindness. For example, one of my favorite experiences for me would be when I was waiting in the drive-thru at Starbucks. When I pulled up to the window, the barista had informed me that there was no need to pay, because my order had already been paid for by the man in front. To continue this act of kindness, I decided to pay for the order behind me. Classic win-win-win situation. To conclude, you don’t need a special event to be kind or generous. Every day is an opportunity to put a smile on someone’s face. So get up and get crackin’ my fellow Warriors—kindness is contagious. Let’s spread it. Senior Maham Shah likes to spread kindness with a smile.
Yosemite announces expansion By Louis Sahagun Los Angeles Times (TNS) L OS ANGELES — In its biggest expansion in decades, Yosemite National Park last week broadened its western boundary by adding 400 acres of lush meadowlands edged with cedars and ponderosa pines that provide habitat for some of California’s most threatened wildlife.
Your green world
The nonprofit Trust for Public Land purchased Ackerson Meadow from private owners for $2.3 million this year and donated it last Wednesday to the National Park Service, marking Yosemite National Park’s largest addition of untrammeled wilderness in seven decades. Yosemite now stands at roughly 750,000 acres. The meadows, home to the federally endangered southwestern willow flycatcher and a geographically isolated and genetically distinct clan of roughly 200 great gray owls, were spared by the Rim fire that scorched a huge swath of the surrounding Sierra Nevada forests in 2013. “The generous donation of Ackerson Meadow will preserve critical meadow habitat that is home to a number of state and federally listed protected species,” Yosemite National Park Superintendent Don Neubacher said. “This meadow is a remarkable gift to the American people, coming at a historic time as we celebrate the centennial of the National Park Service.” Funds to buy the property came from several contributors, including $1.53 million from the Trust for Public Land and $520,000 from the nonprofit Yosemite Conservancy, with additional support from National Park Trust and American Rivers.
