In the PHS gym, senior Courtney Reed gets ready to donate blood. Carter Blood Care works with the HOSA organization to host a blood drive for students today, Nov. 27. Seniors can get an honor cord for graduation if they donate twice – once in the first semester and once in the second semester. There will be another opportunity for 16-year-olds (with a parent-signed form) and 17-year-olds (and older) to donate in the spring. Every blood drive we do saves so many lives, HOSA sponsor and health sciences teacher Kelli Factor said. As you know, there is a massive shortage of blood available, so this really does make a difference for our community. Every pint collected can save up to three lives.

In front of Reynolds Middle School, the bond lawn signs promote voting. Early voting for the bond ended on Nov. 3, but election day is today, Nov. 7. Voters can vote for each individual proposition A-D. I think it is vital for 18-year-olds, and high schoolers in general, to be politically aware and begin voting as soon as possible, senior Jake Kinchen said. Local voting is arguably more important than national voting, as the day-to-day impacts are even more clear.

Students show low participation, interest in elections

At the annual Out of Darkness Walk on Nov. 4, Jerry Craven, Nate Craven, and Rebecca Craven hold a poster, created by the Rushing cheer team to honor their son, Isaac Craven.

The Texas legislature passed a new bill - Bill 900, regarding new guidelines for books in school libraries. The guidelines state that book vendors will have to rate their books based on how explicit the vendors perceive the book to be. Schools in Texas have begun to implement the new bill according to Texas Education Agency guidelines.
