A New Perspective

By Aubrie Clarke

Life is all about how we perceive things. If it were to rain, some people would look at it as an opportunity for flowers to bloom; others would focus on how their clothes are getting wet. For my pictures, some people may say, "It’s just a pencil in the ground," or "It’s just a sewer reflection." I tried to take this as an opportunity to look at things differently, and that's why I took these pictures. These pictures prove that everything can have its own unique story if you use a new perspective.

Community Puzzle

Wondering what the puzzle pieces hidden around the school are all about? It's all about community! Find a puzzle piece around the school and take it to Mrs. Fendrick in room 209 for a piece of candy. (Don't show up in the middle of class, though. No treats for disrupting class!) Remember, "We're stronger together."
