Bath High School’s Chalkboard Project creates a welcoming environment

By |

After weeks of seeing negative and hurtful comments on walls throughout the school, Bath High School students covered them with kind words.

The Chalkboard Project took over the walls of Bath High School in March, a project where students and teachers posed holding a chalkboard of a slur, offensive or rude comment directed at them. On April 3, those words were covered with kind, encouraging and helpful words to bury the effects of bullying and bring kindness to campus.

Muddy paws and wet snouts sniff out Easter eggs

By |

Dogs from nearby towns spent their rainy Saturday morning scavenging in an Easter egg hunt.

Soldan’s Pet Supplies hosted an event April 1 for dogs to come out and scavenge for eggs. These eggs contained treats and prizes for the pups to enjoy, as well as one Golden Ticket that participants could redeem for a gift basket of toys and treats, according to Soldan’s Facebook page.

Dogs were invited to come in their best Easter attire: bunny ears, duckling bandanas and pastel raincoats were seen across the lawn of the pet store. Plastic eggs were scattered over the lawn for dogs to sniff out.

Tragedy in a place we call home

On the night of Feb. 13, the lives of thousands of students, parents and employees changed, including mine. Unfortunately, this is the 67th mass shooting to happen in 2023, according to the Gun Violence Archive, but I never thought it would happen at Michigan State University.

Throughout the hallways of the high school, large black-and-white portraits are hung of students and teachers holding a chalkboard. On the chalkboard, participants wrote an insult they have been called. Profanities were uncensored throughout the building, showcasing the discomfort and hurt that comes with getting bullied. The slurs are to be covered over with positive messages.
