In the final advisory before Thanksgiving break, students played a High School-wide game of Kahoot. Each advisory was a team and worked together to answer Thanksgiving trivia questions. Following the Kahoot, advisories wrote haikus that were scored to help determine prize winners. 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

After coming up with the idea of “Beast Week,” Rohit Venuturupalli (’21) and Ethan Otero (’21) dressed up every day and read the morning announcements. “We dedicated this week for people to be a beast, be who they are, and do what they want,” Venuturupalli said. • Photos by Lea George and reporting by Maarya Shafqat
