Grad Night has been cancelled due to legal complications. Those who planned to attend the event paid a deposit of $50 the previous semester. Now that the event has been cancelled, the money will be returned to their rightful owners.

The senior council has decided to have a refund at Off Broadway Shoes, across the school, after school. There will be two days to pick up your deposit: Jan 27. and Feb. 4. Please bring your deposit receipt and or your school ID when picking up your refund.

The senior council is reaching out to other amusement parks in case there is a possibility to hold Grad Night at another location. Don’t lose hope seniors! Grad Night may still be happening!

Wildfires are plaguing California yet again. It seems to be becoming a trend for California to have big wildfires around this time of the year. Many fires are burning in different areas of California.

The most recent fire is the one in Simi Valley and the Getty Fire in Los Angeles. Many fires have barely been contained and have driven many people out of their homes. Thankfully, there have been no fatalities caused by the wildfires.

The strong winds have fueled the fires and caused even more to erupt. Emergency evacuations have taken place and power has been cut in some counties to prevent any more blazes. The smoke and heat have put many people in danger, including LAUSD students.

Many students have had to temporarily move away from their homes and can not attend school. Schools have been canceled or postponed in relation to the fire. Some colleges have even delayed their early decision and early action applications.
