    Some ENO stories from the previous week:
    With the continued use of inappropriate action and for the protection of school property, the school has installed new bathroom doors that will lock down the bathroom. The doors began being installed Tuesday, Nov. 2. If theres emergencies, theres still a bathroom in the students main area, principal John Burdett said. Now, if we miscalculated that, and we start noticing that theres a line, well just open another bathroom. One bathroom (in each area) will stayed closed, at minimum.

    With her American host family, the Oyakawas, junior Ayana Breternitz stands on the far right for a family picture. Breternitz began staying with her host family only a week before school started, around the week of Aug. 4. In the beginning, like the first two weeks of school, I was really excited to go back, Breternitz said. Now, it’s pretty good. I feel comfortable here. My host family makes me feel like I am a real part of their family.
