Students and faculty were encouraged to wear red in support of the cause. As a student who participated, Cate Parkinson (’21) said that conversations surrounding the illness are extremely important and must be discussed more. “[AIDS is] just not discussed enough, especially regarding the stigma around the illness since it started in the '80s,” she said. “I think that any effort to promote education about causes like these is a positive.” • Photo and reporting by Cameron Spurr

World Language Teacher Whitney Nuchereno’s advisory won the entire game and will get to order Deliveroo for lunch, and each of the grade level winners will get an extra off-campus lunch. To finish the advisory, students wrote messages of gratitude to other members of the ASL community. • Photos by Maarya Shafqat and Maddy Whitman
