Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Clubs Throughout the Years Akeelaha Scott Sep 27, 2024 What's going on with clubs this year? That's the big question on everyone's mind—from students to teachers. What's going on with clubs this year? That's the big question on everyone's mind—from students to teachers. While answers may still be up in the air, we took the initiative to ask some seniors what clubs they'd like to see, what they hope to achieve, and how they'd rate the ones they've been part of in the past. Over the years, students have been able to experience a wide variety of clubs, with some even creating their own if they could find a sponsor. However, the journey hasn’t always been smooth. Freshman year saw no in-school clubs, only after-school ones. Sophomore year offered few options, leaving students who weren’t interested in clubs sitting in study hall. By junior year, things were smoother, though some students were placed in clubs they didn’t sign up for. We spoke to seniors about their thoughts on clubs, and most agreed: improvement is needed. Remaya Bell shared her candid thoughts: Food club: “0/10. We didn’t eat; we just sat there.” Young Filmmakers: “10/10. Mr. Musgrow was over it, so I really enjoyed it.” A real Food club: “I'm hungry, and I like to eat.” Letting us know that she plans to rejoin the club if it is better organized, lives up to its potential, and active. Kyleigh Crooper had her own take on other clubs: Beta Club: “1/10. The teacher tried, but it didn’t work out. Deadlines weren’t met or set in place.” Key Club: “10/10. It offers many opportunities to get community service hours for graduation. I LOVE the teachers over it—Mr. Mitchell and Mrs. Mash.” Korean Culture Club: “9.5/10. I learned about Ms. Wicker and her travels abroad, and we played Korean games like Chicken Fight.” The Refurbished Korean Culture Club: “There’s a lot more you can pull from it.” Kyleigh's opinion let us know that she looks for well organized clubs where the sponsors are strong-willed and stand in what they set. Ajhani Wright wants a change: Chick-fil-a club: This year he wants to help serve the community along with the kids compared to previous years where he’s only been in clubs that just sit around. Alexi Lewis loves learning about culture: Caribbean Culture Club: This club doesn‘t exist yet but she hopes it gets created and can “teach people about culture, food, holidays, traditions.” Finally, Khang Tran didn’t have much to say but expressed excitement to join Beta Club this year, “ looking forward to serving the community. While seniors had mixed experiences, they remain hopeful that clubs this year will live up to their potential and offer more engaging, meaningful activities. comments debug Comments Write a comment Write a comment Share Your Thoughts Be the first to write a comment.

A few weeks ago, the Liberty Magnet High School French Club hosted french week. This week-long event was to showcase and celebrate Louisiana French culture as well as French culture as a whole. Each day offered a different activity during the lunch shifts encouraging all students to join in on the fun regardless of how much they knew about French Culture. The week kicked off on Monday with a school-wide scavenger hunt. Blue sheets of paper posted around the school with questions asking about French culture. The prizes included a goodie bag with candies and French school accessories like pencils and pins for your bag. Tuesday students were able to enjoy arts and crafts. Wednesday students got together on a rainy day in the library and played Just Dance. Thursday the French club field trip to Port Allen to see the French museum. Lastly, to wrap up the festivities Friday was the facepaint and photobooth day capturing all the memories all the students made while participating in French week. The great thing about this week was how inclusive and interactive the activities were. You were not required to be a part of the french club to participate nor did you need to know much about french culture to partake in the activities. The school cannot wait to see what other fun cultural appreciation activities the foreign language department comes up with next year. 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 Two More Arrested in SU Student’s Hazing Death Claniya Olinde Mar 25, 2025 Two more people have been arrested in the hazing death of Caleb Wilson, a student at Southern University. Police say Kyle Thurman and Isiah Smith were charged with felony criminal hazing. Earlier, Caleb McCray was arrested and charged with criminal hazing and manslaughter. Wilson died after going to an off-campus fraternity event. At first, fraternity members lied about where it happened, making it harder for police to figure out the truth. This case shows how dangerous hazing can be. Many people think there should be stricter rules to stop this from happening again. I think all sororities and fraternities should be banned. Clearly hazing being banned/illegal isn’t enough, this may decrease the chances of hazing happening. Other sororities are most likely part taking in the same activities and just havent been caught. A student lost his life because of people who think they are bigger and better than others. These are grown men who aren’t even in college, graduated. It’s good they are being charged, why come back to humiliate and harm students. comments debug Comments Write a comment Write a comment Deine Meinung teilen Jetzt den ersten Kommentar verfassen.

President Donald Trump has announced a 90-day pause on tariffs on all but the most countries, cutting them to 10%, as he raises tariffs on Chinese Imports to 125%. The announcement came in reaction to extreme Market turmoil, including a sudden spike in government borrowing prices and concerns that the United States may enter into recession. The bond market was also in turmoil, with 30-year government bonds yielding more than 5% evoking fears of the 2008 financial crisis. The treasury Secretary of God blessing and other economic officials play the key role in convincing the president to take the pause, starting the administration's unpreparedness to deal with the economic effect and risk of Financial and stability. Market reactions were positive. There remains uncertainty over the long-term direction for the US trade policy, especially as tensions with China continue to escalate. Trump's actions of suspending tariffs on most countries and raising them significantly on China can have a dual impact on ordinary americans. On the one hand, the suspension is good news in the sense that it gives short-term relief for inflation. If the terrorist attacks came into effect across the board, some important goods like Electronics clothing and even food products would have become much more expensive. that would have devastated a lot of people especially considering that inflation already was making American families tighten on their money. by retreating for short-term purposes, on those broader tariffs, that Administration could have avoided interrupt Spike and consumer prices. comments debug Comments (1) Write a comment Write a comment Sort by: Newest grimgm Apr 17 no Like Reply
