“I think almost everyone has some type of depression in their own way. Some more serious than others, but everyone gets it at one point in their life. Even the most perfect people you can think of probably are depressed at some point,” Kellen Gorr said.

Just like everything else this year, COVID has rea

Just like everything else this year, COVID has really had a huge impact on clubs. Reduced membership, having meetings split between in person and zoom, and some clubs even having meetings on alternatings days because of the A and B schedules. A club that deserves a shoutout for all the work they are putting in is Key Club. “Key Club is going really well this year. We have been moving our meetings online, which is super helpful, because people can zoom in and out as they please,” said Key Club president Abby Chan. Although membership is slightly down this year, people that are a part of the club are showing up to every meeting, which is a really positive thing to see.

As Covid 19 advances, LPS has enforced new rules and regulations upon each school. Keeping each student healthy and safe, is of utmost importance. That includes providing students with a nutritious meal to keep them focused in the afternoon hours. When dealing with the spreading virus throughout the school system, LPS looked at the lunchroom first. Lynn Goering, a dietician in Nutrition Services at LPS, said that the kitchens were already incredibly clean, and still, many precautionary measures have been implemented. Extra sanitizing, and cleaning, have led to a perfectly functioning lunchroom, dividers and all. But is it safer to bring your own lunch and completely ignore the school food?

Whenever there’s been an excess amount of snow or ice, LPS announces a snow day for all students. This is given when the conditions outside are too difficult to bear and drive in. On snow days, students are not required to come into the school building at all. But now, with remote learning, continuing the school day as usual couldn’t get interrupted by multitudes of snow blocking the roads. Everyone has been wondering if the snow days this year would get replaced with full remote learning days. Luckily, LPS Superintendent Dr. Steve Joel commented on how snow days will be handled.

With the coming of winter, as well as the holiday

With the coming of winter, as well as the holiday trifecta, a new line of scents appears in stores and homes, providing a warm, welcoming embrace. Scents like Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin, Acorn Lane, Crushed Peppermint, and Crisp Morning Air. Bath and Body Works has capitalized on the obsession with scent, especially candles. The emitted scent combined with a calm, comforting flicker and glow creates an easily marketable home accent. The Gateway location revealed over 50 different 3-wick candles made with essential oils, specifically for this time of year alone. As the temperature begins to drop, many of us will allow a candle to brighten our souls and our rooms, bringing warmth and nostalgia. Which scent will you choose?

Last Friday, November 13th, winter sports athletes

Last Friday, November 13th, winter sports athletes in LPS were shocked to find out that under Lincoln Mayor Leirion Gaylor Baird’s new Directed Health Measures (DHM), all youth indoor sports are to be under a moratorium until at least December 7th. This includes high school sports and with winter sports tryouts slated to begin on November 16th, this will obviously throw a wrench in both coaches and athletes' plans alike. Not everyone is pleased with the news but most understand that this may be needed to have a season at all. “I don’t agree with pushing back winter sports until December 7th but if that’s what is needed in order to have the rest of the season, then I can be patient for another three weeks,” senior point guard Olivia Kugler said. The DHM’s will be evaluated on the 7th.
