Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Ode To Books Isabelle Kennedy Sep 21, 2024 A reflection on the impact of books. "Reading gives us someplace to go when we have to stay where we are", Mason Cooley truly captured the magic behind books. Much like movies they can let us escape the day to day worries we all face and be taken to new and exciting worlds that immerse us completely. Somehow, no matter how fantastical the realm, it often makes more sense than the world around us. It lifts the weight of reality off our shoulders if even for just a moment. As a part of the community, the librarians, Ms. Gyorgy and Ms. Short hope to visit a local elementary school for some reading at some point in the year. Ms. Short also hopes that they can "have some representative volunteering at the Louisiana Book Festival in November." Along the lines of field trips for the year, the library and book club look forward to visiting the main library on Goodwood and"plan to go see the movie adaptation of the musical Wicked." These are some exciting plans for the Book Club and the library for the school year 2024-2025. If you want to read but don't know where to start, Ms. Short and Ms. Gyorgy can help you out. When asked what books every student should read, Ms. Short says, "A classic that I think everyone should read is Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury...There are current movements to restrict access to books and this story does a great job of showing why this type of censorship is problematic...A newer book that I recommend is The Firekeeper's Daughter by Angeline Boulley...This beautifully written book has something for everyone; mystery, murder, drama, hockey, romance, family issues…..It is being adapted for Netflix." Ms. Gyorgy recommends "Diary of Anne Frank, Wonder by RJ Palacio, The Book Thief by Markus Zusak, The Hate You Give by Angie Thomas to just name a few". She also recommends new readers to try the fantasy genre. Books can have such a large impact in our lives and it certainly did in Ms. Gyorgy and Ms. Short's. Ms. Gyorgy says, "Books opened my eyes beyond my own world! I still love to read books about people whose lives are totally different from mine. The diversity that has taken over YA books in the past 20 years is awesome!" Ms. Short adds, "There is a saying that books are mirrors that can reflect your own life back at you, windows that allow you to look into someone else's life, and sliding doors that allow you to be transported into another world. I don't want to imagine a life without books and the power of stories!" Literature impacts our culture and community in significant ways, "the biggest impact that books have on our society is the development of empathy, which leads to kindness and ultimately, to peace." says Ms. Short. Ms. Gyorgy expands, "Readers are curious people and curious people are smart people, always finding out about new things." "The themes found in literature have stood the test of time; unrequited love, jealousy, grief, fear, humor, etc. We are all connected by these emotions and they can be found in books that are centuries old and in modern-day writing," Ms. Gyorgy perfectly explains. They allow us to experience new feelings and bring a new understanding to our own realities. Books are a key part of culture and society, so please visit the library and find a book that speaks to you. It only takes one book to change the way you see the world. comments debug Comments Write a comment Write a comment Share Your Thoughts Be the first to write a comment.

Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link OPINION: Youth’s Importance in Politics Akeelaha Scott Feb 20, 2025 Why is the younger generation always underestimated when it comes to challenging norms and even speaking up for themselves? Why is the younger generation always underestimated when it comes to challenging norms and even speaking up for themselves? Ultimately the youth is seen as immature since they have not experienced much in life. That should not take away from them getting the attention they deserve when fighting for their/others rights. It is said that older generations know best since they have witnessed history unfold. But if they knew best they would have fought during those times for what they believed in and maybe the world would not be in the state it is in today. Younger generations are constantly showing their dedication to fighting for things that will affect them and future generations. By emphasizing the importance of being involved and spreading awareness. Most times the younger generation is left to educate themselves and older generations because they tend to be stuck in their ways or believe that if it doesn’t affect them they do not have to care. Younger generations tend to be more educated due to the fact that they are constantly doing research on past events and things happening around the world. The reason politics should involve the youth in some way is because they tend to be on the front lines fighting for what's right. Constantly attending protests, organizing events, and even taking to social media to emphasize the importance of staying up to date on what's happening in the world. For that reason it is shown in data that the youth has higher voter turnout than older generations. The youth is also always calling out those who only participate in activism online whether they are a celebrity or not. Finally, the importance of youth in politics is because the decisions made today affect them in the long run and also educated younger generations helps the world in the long run. comments debug Comments Write a comment Write a comment Share Your Thoughts Be the first to write a comment.

Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Senior Highlight - Saniya Reado Kamryn Bell Oct 23, 2024 High School Senior Cheerleader Inspires Team with Leadership and Dedication in Final Year. Throughout her years at Liberty Magnet High School, Saniya Reado has become a source of inspiration to her teammates and student body. She is known for her leadership and unwavering dedication to her school work, cheer, and other activities. In her final year she has excelled in performance but also has a sense of unity among her teammates. Her hard work and dedication is leaving a huge impact on those around her and the school community. Q: How has the your year as a cheerleader demostrate leadership and dedication throughout their final year? A: “Being a cheerleader as a senior has demonstrated leadership in many ways such as being a role-model to other cheerleaders younger than me, and more importantly being positive for not only myself but for my team and my younger cheer sisters. Dedication also plays a heavy role in being a cheerleader because cheerleading is a sport that you have to be dedicated to. You have to be dedicated to come to practice everyday, and show up for yourself and everyone else on the team. It’s not a selfish sport at all, so even if you have a long and/or bad day, you still have to be dedicated and committed to give 100% everyday. Dedication is also shown in many ways, especially being a senior given that this is a busy year for me. I have to make sure not only am I showing up to practice and games, I’m also being dedicated to my school work and making sure I stay on top of my work.” - Saniya Reado Q: What impact have you had on the cheerleading team and school community? A: “The impact I’ve had on my school community as a cheerleader is having lots of school spirit. Cheerleaders are basically the ones who start the chants, and help with keeping the energy up at games so in the community I would definitely say we have a huge impact at the school. The impact I personally feel like I’ve had on my team is having energy for my teammates and coaches and keeping us all on one page and having a great attitude and helping us to enjoy what we do.” - Saniya Reado Q: What plans do you have after graduating high school? A: “Post graduation, I plan on attending a HBCU and cheering in college and getting my bachelors and master's degree in Communication Science and Disorders.” - Saniya Reado comments debug Comments Write a comment Write a comment Share Your Thoughts Be the first to write a comment.

Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link The Great Change Megan Wessinger Aug 15, 2025 After my sophomore year, many people left football. Many players felt the change of coaches would negatively impact the team. Others felt different sports were their calling. After my sophomore year, many people left football. Many players felt the change of coaches would negatively impact the team. Others felt different sports were their calling. In our junior year the football team improved compared to freshman year. Many players felt the coaches were working them better than the previous coaches. Training would be harsh and planning would be more strategic. I've asked around and people are saying the football team is better than it was before. I've asked players how they feel about the new coaches and one student in particular explained he felt like the new coaches are smarter and better. Although he felt the change was ‘weird and disappointing’ it was better for the team. Liberty Magnet High School football team used to be known as a losing team but ever since the change in coach the sports team has improved. Throughout the football season the football has improved greatly. From strategies on the field to incorporating team play. During the previous year football season the same players used to play. The new coaches incorporated more players into the new game plays. I am no football coach but I can notice a difference in the positions people play. The quarter back gets rotated, line backer, defensive back. The new coaches not only care about strategy but letting the players get time on the field. This can help students get scouted by coaches to go pro. Overall the coach change had a great impact on the team and also for the school. With the team winning more games the school has more spirit and morale! comments debug Comments Write a comment Write a comment Share Your Thoughts Be the first to write a comment.

Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Betting Big on Kiffin: LSU's $73 Million Gamble and What It Means for Taxpayers Ivory Brown Dec 17, 2025 LSU’s football team remains in the news in Louisiana with news that new LSU football coach Lane Kiffin has a massive $73 million buyout in his contract. LSU’s football team remains in the news in Louisiana with news that new LSU football coach Lane Kiffin has a massive $73 million buyout in his contract. This is in addition to a $54 million buyout in his previous contract that LSU has already in place for former coach Brian Kelly. As highlighted in your plan document, LSU was criticized by Governor Jeff Landry over paying a $54 million buyout for former LSU football coach Brian Kelly in a 10-year, $95 million contract. The news of this substantial buyout has left Louisiana taxpayers even perplexed, especially when considering that this huge amount sets a precedent for other coaches that LSU may want in the future. Though LSU asserts that this buyout reflects a commitment to staying together as a long-term family with new LSU football coach Lane Kiffin, many are left to question how this aligns with prioritizing finances with LSU rebuilding their identity as a powerful football institution in Louisiana. One common question that remains in most people’s minds as LSU launches this new journey with new LSU football coach Lane Kiffin remains a pressing question: “What will Louisianans think if LSU’s performance does not warrant such massive expenditures?” comments debug Comments Write a comment Write a comment Share Your Thoughts Be the first to write a comment.
