Environmental Club Yosemite Trip: September 2025
By: Sienna Wells
From September 12-14, the Environmental Club embarked on a 3-day journey to Yosemite! The trip consisted of camping in Yosemite National Park. With clear skies, fresh mountain air, and breathtaking scenery, the trip gave students the perfect opportunity to reconnect with nature while deepening their appreciation for the environment.
The whole trip was such a nice refresh and a good way to spend time away from the stressors of school and from technology. Students set up camp as a group then hiked the following day to the Centennial Dome “It was nice to talk to people I would have never approached in a normal school setting” said one student.
Everyone was divided into meal groups, each responsible for preparing and cooking everyone's meals throughout the trip. From hearty breakfasts to well-earned dinners after long hikes, the shared meals became a space for bonding, laughter, and learning.
As we finally got back to camp and the sun was going down, the group slowly gathered around the campfire. Guitars came out, songs were sung, games were played beneath the stars and smores were made. These moments of simple joy and community were the perfect way to end full, adventurous days.
The Environmental Club hopes to continue organizing field trips like this to inspire environmental awareness and stewardship among students. Judging by the smiles and stories and new friends brought home, this Yosemite trip was one for the books.
If you're interested in more Environmental Club activities, please reach out to Emma Dugoni, Josh Miller, Ashley You or Brooke Lau.
Stay tuned for the Spring Camping trip!
La Raza Unida Club Celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month
By: Sienna Wells
Every year from September 15 to October 15, we celebrate and commemorate Hispanic Heritage Month. This month honors the history, Independence, culture, and contributions of Hispanic and Latino communities in the United States.
The National Museum of the American Latino explains that "it began as a week-long celebration in 1968 under President Johnson and was expanded to a month by President Reagan 20 years later in 1988," clarifying that "the timeframe of this month is significant because many Central American countries celebrate their independence days within these dates, beginning on September 15 with Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. By aligning with these independence dates, Hispanic Heritage Month honors the resilience and determination of the Hispanic community."
It’s a time to recognize the impact and influence of Hispanic culture and leaders who have shaped our country and to come together to celebrate tradition while supporting each other as a united community.
