Staff Writer Four different sides occured from the National Walkout on March 14 at Red Lion Senior High School. 13 students participated in the outdoor protest with the knowledge they would receive a 3-hour Saturday detention for their actions. Around 150 students went to a memorial at the Fitzkee Center, which was non-political and dedicated to the 17 victims of the Parkland shooting. Then there were several students that showed up to the memorial wearing NRA shirts. The final side was the rest of the student body who chose to stay in their homerooms. There was reasoning as to why each group made the decision that they did. By Eli Lanehart
Business Manager Walking through the hallways as a senior; a student that is about to go into real world as an adult contributing to society. College may be in the future for this individual, but they also may be confused. Hope has arrived for this student and students of all different scenarios. “I’ve been working with some teachers and administrators for the past nine to twelve months about creating some opportunities for students while they’re here,” said Mr. Bill Rickard, an assistant principal at Red Lion. “Some of them we’ve run into accidentally and some I’ve been chasing down purposefully.” By Nathan Steiner
Staff Writer Starting next year, Red Lion will be incorporating the One-to-One program, making laptops accessible to every student. Tim Smith, the head of the technology department at Red Lion, said that the 8th graders that attend the junior high will bring their 11-inch chromebooks up to the high school. 10th and 11th graders will get brand new devices, and the seniors will get existing technology that still operates from the school.

Junior Editor-in-Chief February 14 is Valentine’s Day. Many high school students woke up on that day this year with plans of spending it with the people they love most and giving cards, flowers, or chocolates. One thing that is certain is that the students of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School will remember this Valentine’s Day forever. Those students did not expect to lose 17 of their classmates that day. By Carly Guise
Editor-in-Chief As the school science fair has come and gone, students across the high school have begun preparing for their next challenge: the York County Science and Engineering Fair.

At the school fair, Alex Sun, junior, was named Grand Champion for his project on 3D printed biodegradable material.

Marketing Editor On April 3rd Red Lion Senior High will welcome former NBA player, Chris Herren to speak with students at an assembly - and no, it has nothing to do with playing basketball professionally. Herren is founder of a foundation called, “Project Purple.” His mission is to assist individuals and families struggling with drug addiction. He is coming to Red Lion to share his story regarding drugs and the past that they led him and how he is now recovering and hopes to use this organization to help and reach out to others. The Aevidum club will be acting as the ‘liaison’ for this entire assembly. The message of Aevidum, “I’ve got your back” is very relevant in regards to Herren’s project’s mission statement. Club adviser Mrs. Rohrbaugh said, “We are using our platform to promote the message. We are raising money for donations and, most importantly, awareness before Chris comes.” Aevidum has been selling Project Purple T-Shirts for $12.00 at both the senior high and the junior high. A portion of the proceeds that they receive will be donated towards the Purple Project which will be presented to Chris himself at the assembly. Drug addiction is responsible for the death of more teens than both car accidents and gun violence in America. So many of the students of Red Lion High School have been touched by the drug crisis. “Unfortunately, the opioid crisis - the drug addiction - is not specific to one area,” said Mrs. Rohrbaugh. “Our students know people who are struggling, we’ve had former students who have passed. It’s something that needs to be brought to the attention of everybody so that we can reduce it.” |
