Did you Donate

Senior Dustin Honeycutt

On May 3rd Heritage High School held a blood drive by the American Red Cross. This wasn’t just any school blood drive; this was someone’s senior project. Senior Hunter Armstrong was in charge of the project.
190 students signed up to donate blood, but only 120 went through with it. Armstrong said that this was the goal this year was to reach 120 people donating.
The reason why Armstrong chose this project is because all the hospitals in the Clark County have a shortage of blood. In other words, there is a high demand for blood.
“The blood drive went very well, this was a student-lead process not with an adviser” says Armstrong. So the success was all through students, not just advisors. This was a good project and was very successful in the end.

Ever dive too deeply into a pool, lake or a river and struggle to get to the surface to get more air?
Ever hit the water and get that shock of cold and lose your breath in a big burst?

Some of the most interesting things that happen occur in split seconds.
These photos are all about capturing those moments that could never exactly be duplicated.

FRAME OF MIND – Christina Wallace

EMMERT

To view the mundane in a state of awe, one has to be in the right frame of mind. The world is full of simple hidden beauty just waiting to be noticed. Art is not always something that one makes, but what one makes of something that was already there.

IN YOUR BACKYARD – Joshua Trottier

EMMERT

“In Your Backyard” is the visual exploration of how people deal with problems that arise in their life through the use of still life and landscape photography. This neighborhood is perfect on the surface, while right in the backyard they have this overrun forest filled with debris and litter. There are those of us that sweep things under the rug…everything is OK on the surface of day to day life; yet, underneath the surface there is a growing pile of problems slowly accumulating. My hope was that through this series viewers can reflect on themselves and think about what type of things they’re allowing to reside in their space.
