![Alexander Oki ‘28 picks up trash in the lower parking lot Feb. 20. According to Keep America Beautiful, the majority of the trash found on both roads and waterways consists of fast food wrappers and packaging, receipts and plastic beverage bottles. Clubs like the National Honor Society (NHS) offer students the opportunity to earn service hours by cleaning up the trash in the parking lots. “[The trash] makes us look very unhygienic and unmotivated to be a proper school,” Emberlyse Vidal ‘28 said. “It makes us look like we just don't care about our students' environments.”](https://rockmediaonline.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/20260220_1355020-2-1200x904.jpg)

On Wednesday, Feb. 21 the girls tennis team traded their rackets for shovels to practice for upcoming tryouts.
The day before the girls tennis team had to shovel, it was snowing and windy. The weather conditions were cold; the temperature that day was below freezing.
“Shoveling the snow was really difficult because there was a lot of snow and lots of ice as well,” Kaylee Kabza ‘21 said, “We needed to do it because tryouts are this week so we needed the courts in order to practice and tryout. On Wednesday it was freezing while we shoveled and some were prepared and wearing warm clothes while others were in shorts and freezing the whole time.”
