The Girls Varsity Tennis Team will be holding informal hit-arounds on Thursdays from 4:00 to 5:30 p.m. at the Kiwanis tennis courts, weather permitting. These sessions are a great opportunity for players interested in competitive tennis to get on the courts, work on their skills, and hit with members of our highly competitive varsity program. Come out, work on your game, and have some fun!
Can you spot the troll? Do you know what a troll is? Members of Mr. Eckhardt’s Contemporary Issues class have been studying Media Literacy, including misinformation and disinformation. As part of the class, they have created both ‘real’ and ‘troll’ social media accounts. They are posted on the first floor of Colby Hall. Can you tell the difference? Test your knowledge all this week.
If you frequent Ranger Breezeway, you may have seen the opening exhibit of the tiny art gallery that opened on campus last week. Tiny Art Gallery will strike again in October with two shows, the first in celebration of Indigenous People’s Day and the second in celebration of all things spooky. This is a call to all visual artists interested in our tiny project: create a tiny portrait, painting, watercolor, collage within one of these themes. A drop-box with instructions will launch Monday in Student Life. Submissions for the first theme are due Thursday, October 8. Submissions for the spooky theme are due Monday, October 19. You may also submit any questions to Tiny Art Gallery’s anonymous directors via this drop-box.
