Small particles of near-frozen water,
Stark white against espresso brown,
Drifting down upon the abandoned forest.
Trees stretch high,
A haven for small animals
Who have survived the growing solitude.
Ariana Guzman profiles HHS English teacher Wayne Storer. Storer talks about finding his classroom style, and what motivates students.
Why do we hold objects so close to our hearts? Objects tell personal stories, they reflect memories and journeys. They are a part of who we are. For me, my music box holds joyful memories of my childhood. The music would brighten me up even if I was having a bad day. The pink ballerina dancing in a circle with a smile on her face brought a smile onto mine. I would open and close the box sometimes just enough to stop the song. Then I would wind up the music again and play it throughout my room, pretending, just for a moment, that I was that dancing ballerina. I still wind up that old music box when I’m feeling sad.
On Friday, January 17th, HHS’s Career Center hosted a Celebration Luncheon for students recently accepted into Washington State University Pullman and Vancouver campuses.

Congratulations to all students who were accepted.
