![Minutes before the Activities Fair in the gym, president Abhi Gowda ‘26 prepares the stall for his club Helping Hands, Sept. 4. A relatively new club, Helping Hands was co-started by Gowda and focuses on assisting the homeless, and just last year they succeeded in raising a couple hundred donations to send to shelters. This year, they have goals to expand, with hopes to increase volunteer opportunities and take in-person trips to shelters, as well as extend their help beyond just homeless people. “The Activities Fair gives a lot of underclassmen the opportunity to really get to know the Canyon culture, and it gives them many opportunities for service and volunteering,” Gowda said. “[Through the Activities Fair,] I hope to find a bunch of new and passionate members about our club and just get our name out there and spread awareness to the cause that we’re fighting for.”](https://rockmediaonline.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/1-2-1200x885.jpg)
![The winter guard team makes fifth place at the state championship finals in the Denver Coliseum, March 30. The team performed to Barnes Country's “Glitter and Gold,” lead by coaches Margo Sanford, Blair Bickerton and Anna Orgren. In their class there were a total of nine groups participating, and the top five who made it to finals received a plaque. “[Walking onto the stage] is very nerve-wracking, but also very exciting as well. When you first start color guard there's a lot of anxiety and uncertainty when you first perform in front of an audience, but once you've done it for a while, it starts to become the best part of the season,” Ella West ‘25 said. “It's very fulfilling to see an audience react to something you've put your heart and soul into.”](https://rockmediaonline.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Both-socal-media-nd-website-main-1-1200x846.jpg)
![April marks the 25th anniversary of Sexual Assault Awareness Month, created by the National Sexual Violence Resource Center (NSVRC). This month is to spread awareness of the harassment, assault and abuse that happens around the world. The symbol that represented the month was a teal ribbon; however, some survivors of assault create different symbols and movements like the TikTok trend in 2022, where survivors would tattoo Medusa on their body, in honor of her backstory in Greek Mythology. “I don't think [this month is known] at all. I rarely see anybody talk about it. I rarely see much of an emphasis on posting it online, or much discussion about it, and I feel like there needs to be way more discussion,” an anonymous source said. “I think just validating every experience that a person has gone through, regardless of the degree of it, the severity, is an essential step into making sure that people are aware that this is a very real problem in a society and that we need to do better in addressing it.”](https://rockmediaonline.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/IMG_0011-1200x900.jpg)
![Lesbian Visibility Day is April 26, and it’s a holiday to celebrate the lesbian community of the world. Lesbian Visibility day was established in 2008 by many queer activists and organizations who sought to raise more awareness for lesbian history and culture. “So this is why during Lesbian Visibility [Day] we celebrate and center all lesbians, both cis and trans, while also showing solidarity with all LGBTQ+ women and nonbinary people,” Linda Reily, in an article written by her, said.](https://rockmediaonline.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Lesbian-Visibility-day.jpeg)
10 Things to Remember for Registration
Here are 10 reminders to guide you through the registration process.
media by Calvin Edlund
Student course registration papers are due Feb. 7 and Feb. 8.
February 4, 2022
1) The registration window closes Feb. 4 at 8:00 p.m. Make sure to sign up for all of your classes by the deadline. The instructions for signing up on Infinite Campus are on your registration paper. Registration papers are due Feb. 7 and Feb. 8 and must be turned in to your math class.
2) Register online as early as you can. You may encounter wifi issues or other problems may lead to missing the registration window.
3) Remember to have the right teachers sign you off on your classes. Not all classes need to be approved, but some of them do. Some examples of classes that need a teacher signature are math, most honors classes, anything above level one language, etc.
4) Don’t overload yourself with difficult classes because even if it seems like a good idea in your head. You might regret the decision next year and be unable to substantially switch your schedule.
“Choose your classes wisely because what students choose drives the master schedule and on the flip side of that it’s hard to change schedules just because classes get filled up.” Counselor Daniel Davies said.
5) Talk to your teachers. They will be able to give you good insight on what classes you are ready to take and which classes you should try to avoid.
6) If you are signing up for an AP class, remember to fill out an AP contract. If you are having a hard time getting one, you can stop by the counseling office for one.
7) Make sure you are on top of your credits. If you don’t have enough necessary credits, you may have to take summer school or pursue credit recovery.
8) Double check with your teachers if you’re planning on taking the same class twice. Most classes will not provide credits when taken a second time.
9) Remember to fill out your paper form and sign up online before the deadline. If you don’t have your class sheet, talk to your seminar teacher or the counseling office about getting one.
10) Depending on your graduating year, remember that you will have some off-periods built into your schedule. You can replace these off-periods by talking to your counselor when you turn in your registration paper.
