!["I will be attending Trunk or Treat [for FCCLA]" junior Crystal Li said. "We're gonna use Mr. Harbeson's car, and we will be [hosting three different activities]."](https://southwestshadow.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/IMG_0980-1200x900.png)
Student Council members are hard at work planning, promoting and organizing the collection of essential items to help people in need.
![Displaying a QR code for students to scan, the flyer allows students to sign up and learn about their desired colleges as they visit throughout the school year. Many schools have had additional presentations for students to learn more about what they offer. “For me, I’m interested in criminal justice,” junior Zion Jefferson said. “I know that UNLV and Nevada State University have this major. But, [the college fair] is going to be beneficial, so I can see what other schools offer as well.”](https://southwestshadow.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/IMG_2721-1200x900.jpg)
![Working in the Student Success Office, Attendance Secretary Lordis Depiazza inputs a student’s absence excuse note. Students are required to bring an excuse note to the attendance office within three days of any absence. “Reminding students that being in school is important because it reflects towards your grades and being able to do any activities with the school,” Depiazza said. “[It] seems to get the students' attention about wanting to be in school.”](https://southwestshadow.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/IMG_8313-1200x800.jpg)
![Arranging the fabric on the floor for a new project, senior Sapphyre-Ann Leung plans out her attire for the next deadline. With the recent closures, students now had limited resources and less margin for error with the fabric and materials they had in stock while trying to reach strict deadlines. “Joann’s had a lot of high-end fabric for our fashion competitions,” Leung said. “We couldn’t just buy ten yards of fabric from Hobby Lobby or Walmart. Since [Joann Fabrics] is no longer open, we have to buy items online, which is way more expensive.”](https://southwestshadow.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/IMG_0038-1200x800.jpg)
![Grabbing her phone to take a photo, sophomore Vanessa Ta sits down on a bed and takes a couple photos to post on her social media. “I just really [feel] that my favorite cosplayer is everyone lowkey, because I get to see people’s creativity,” Ta said. “I get to see how skilled and talented they are.”](https://southwestshadow.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/55A1FC60-BE63-4F24-9B78-65194336319E-e1760926431267.jpg)
Ta expresses her love for dressing up, as well as how she puts her costumes together.
![In his fifth period World History class, Thur works with his students individually, helping them as they sort through notes and assorted historical documents. “I’m always willing to try something new,” Thur said. “Some of my best ideas that I’ve received over the years are from students. This year I’m trying out stations for the first time and kids are rotating through and it’s working. Well, some things are [working], I’ve still got to work out the kinks with it. The kids change, why shouldn’t I change too?”](https://southwestshadow.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/IMG_8991-1200x800.jpg)
![Fast food has not stayed the same principle of “sit down, order, and get food,” but has turned into a process with multiple layers and complexity. This is largely due to the integration of automation in every aspect of dining. “I'm not that knowledgeable on it, but I've seen videos on TikTok, I'm not really concerned—it doesn’t seem that smart,” senior Dallas Evertt said. “When [some people are just ordering] 18,000 water cups, it sounds really dumb. There was no way [the AI] was gonna put down 18,000 water cups—and that just shows how it’s not going to take anybody’s job soon.”](https://southwestshadow.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Dominante-Image-1200x675.png)
![Squaring up to a practice dummy, sophomore Cypher Andres prepares to throw a punch. Dummies are regularly used to help him prepare certain hits to take his opponents down. “[Boxing dummies help me practice] because it’s basically a model of the body,” Andres said. “It helps with accuracy, such as pressure points behind the ear, and a clean liver shot can end the fight.”](https://southwestshadow.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/IMG_5728-e1759850486200-1200x864.jpg)
