Reflecting on the Pros and Cons of Prom by Christiana Votta
It's that time once a year again where we reflect upon the Junior and Senior prom, the one night of the year where students get to cut loose and look their best. However, is the price and experience of prom really worth it?
Extra Schoolwork During Advisory??? Perspectives from Students and Teachers on SAT Prep BY SAMUEL HIERS
Since the beginning of the second semester of this year, things have been very different about Advisory that may be reinforcing productivity for students - or giving them more work and less freedom. Sophomore and Junior Advisories at CHS, due to a Rhode Island state initiative, are now using the block for mandatory SAT and PSAT practice.

I am committed to using my good health to advocate for inclusivity and create a more compassionate society for all.
Journey of Self-Discovery BY CHRIS MARTIN
As I look back on the way I struggled, and how it felt like hell at the time, I find myself becoming more and more grateful for the things I experienced in my childhood years. My hardships have inspired me to become a safe support for younger kids, allowing them to express themselves freely in my presence no matter how they identify themselves and encouraging growth in terms of their identity and the way they express it.
No Time for Boredom this Holiday Season! By Christiana Votta
It's that time of the year again when everyone is waiting in anticipation for winter break. It's that time when we can momentarily retire our school bags and paperwork to enjoy the holiday season. However, during the break, we all reach a point in time where boredom is our worst enemy—leading us to ponder the question; what to do? To help alleviate this boredom I came up with a list of events or small activities that students can attend with friends and families.
To study or not to study, that is the question. By Christiana Votta
It is true studying does take time, and you have to be willing to put in the time and effort. However, when you do this, the results can be very rewarding.
Barbie: An Analysis of the Movie BY ISABELLA CARLOW
Honestly, when I walked out of the theaters after the movie, I was surprised, but also happy with Barbie. It was everything I expected it to be, and more. There was chaos, a lot of pink, and singing and dancing, obviously. There were so many wonderful moments in the film, and I know many people thought the same. Gretta Gerwig did an amazing job of creating Barbie Land and honoring the doll, while also discussing many other issues that many, if not everyone, could relate to. If you haven’t seen the movie already, I definitely think you should- you’re missing out if you don’t.

Sign up as soon as you can and at the right time, get the sleep and study time that you need, take the course seriously, expect the unexpected, and approach your time learning about the rules of the road positively in order to ace your permit test. Before you know it, you’ll find yourself cruisin’ down the streets and highways in no time!

Nineteen Days: A Senior Reflection by Riley Clarke
I won’t be the first to say my first two years here at Coventry High School were weird, to say the least. From not stepping foot into school until October in freshman year to being accidentally contact-traced in sophomore year, those first two years barely feel real. It feels more like I’ve been here for two years, rather than four. Which is why this article is so hard to write, how can it be my senior year? I just got here.
