“Catch Me If You Can” – Thoughts on the Winter Play BY SAMUEL HIERS

Making Changes: One CHS Student Reflects on Her Environmental Activism BY EMMA LAFLEUR

If we don’t make a change as soon as possible there will be no turning back. It is our responsibility to make the changes that we are capable of making, no matter how insignificant it may seem. One quote which has stuck with me regarding this topic is from Jane Goodall, who once said, In order to make this difference, we need to choose as a society to make the effort. There will be no future for us if we don’t start making changes. “You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.”
