A HAIR, RAISING EXPERIENCE: PALS Leah Gordon and Gisele Fuentes put pink tinsel in students hair during lunch. Hair tinseling was a lunch-time activity offered by the group to help fundraise for breast cancer awareness. “It was very tedious,” Gordon said, “I had never done hair tinsel before, so I had to learn beforehand. But it was rewarding to know that we were making money and that it was all going to a good cause.” Caption by Evie Barnard.

ZOOM TIME! For a kindergartner, it’s very difficult to find ways to learn while practicing social distancing and having two working parents. The solution to this? Well, obviously a Zoom class. Here my little brother joined his first Zoom on a Tuesday morning. He waves to his fellow classmates through the screen after not seeing them for weeks. Photo by Anna Garcia.

SATURDAY SETBACK: The boys varsity lost 4-1 to Navarro at Noack on Saturday. The teams were evenly matched early, and thanks to some stellar saves from Knight goalkeeper Bryn Lewis, the game stayed even. After drawing a foul in the box, the Vikings converted a penalty kick for an early lead. Thanks to some effective passing, Jake Anderson advanced the ball in close and converted his chance to tie the score at 1 before halftime. Things went south for the Knights in the second half. The Vikings were able to possess the ball, break down the defense and score to make it 2-1. Two penalty kick goals and a red card later, the Vikings absconded with a 4-1 win that left the Knights still searching for a breakthrough win to turn their season around. In recent seasons, the Knights have played much better in the second half of the district season. Hopefully that history can inspire a Tuesday turnaround against LBJ as the second half of the district season commences at Nelson Field. Games times: JV-B at 4:45 p.m., JV-A at 6 p.m. and varsity at 7:30 p.m. Photo by Anna Bausman

JOUSTING TILL THE END Senior Greg James challenges opposing Bowie player during the last game of the season. James was one of the original members of the Knights lacrosse team when it was founded last year, and was the first to score a goal at the game against Bowie. Despite the game not ending up the way he had hoped, James takes pride in his time with the team. “It feels bittersweet [to be a senior], because the team is finally getting to the point to have enough players playing consistently to have a good team and now we are leaving it unfortunately,” James said. “But I am also happy for the team to see where they go and how they keep growing.” Reporting by Ella Irwin and Liam Wilson.

This picture represents the essence of McCallum because our principal, Michael Garrison, is a key part of our school. Without Mr. Garrison, McCallum would be very different. He gives us freedom to participate and create events that we are interested in. I composed this picture so that the one stone with the name on it is in focus, but the rest is blurry. SO: 800. F/stop: f/4. SS: 1/4000. Zoom: 75 mm.
