In preparation for donation drives, items were packaged and gathered together in the science building. Monetary donations were also used to purchase additional items including packaged food, wipes and diapers. “When tragedy strikes, I don’t feel comfortable standing by. I believe in taking action and doing what I can to help,” said Billie Guerrero, Science Department Faculty. The donation drive showcased efforts to support fire impacted residents.

They make sure everything runs smoothly, and I always get paid on time!” said Jayden Aleman ('26).

Kenny Clay (‘25) and Leia Albornoz (‘25) blast the speakers in the library, bringing good vibes to lunch on Friday the 13th of last week. Anyone walking by could hear the best tunes coming from the library that drew in a crowd of people. Kenny and Leia do not have record players yet, so for now, they are DJing using a laptop set up. “I just want to push my music agenda,” Kenny said. “Steph [Ma (‘25)] said this is just a lame excuse to be on AUX, but I’m gonna capitalize off that.”

New DJs on deck!

Webb students and faculty pose in front of the backdrop at the Student Diversity Leadership Conference (SDLC), themed “Meeting the Moment: Anchoring & Enriching Our Education Futures.” The conference provided impactful workshops and discussions on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). “It was a transformative experience to connect with others who share my identity and goals,” said Jayden Aleman (’26), a participant of this year’s SDLC. Students gained valuable insights and were inspired to foster positive change within their community. Photo Credit: Mr. Choi

Maddie Leiva (‘27) and Gavin Hamilton (‘27) dramatically pose while holding signs promoting the democratic and republican parties respectively. The two students are both expressing dismay for each other's signs, however situations such as this disagreement are encouraged at Webb. “It's important to keep people in your life that you disagree with, because it kind of affirms what you really believe in,” Saraya Chigoji (‘27) said. Moments of debate build stronger individuals who can allow political differences to coexist.

The girls' basketball team rallied in pink ribbons, ready to gather their support for cancer survivors while playing a nail-biting game. Bolstered by their competitive spirit, the team joined with the American Cancer Society and the National Association of Basketball Coaches in an event called Coaches vs. Cancer. “By being here, you are showing that your community stands united,” said Coach Kays, science department faculty and Webb’s girls’ basketball head coach “You're demonstrating that in the face of cancer, we refuse to be silent.” The game included packed stands with fans supporting the team, and the cause!

Frannie Hinch (‘25) and Yuki Layman (‘25) brighten the quad through decorative chalk art. This is one of the many activities the peer advisors put on to celebrate Stress Less Week. “It was a really fun way to de-stress because drawing particularly with chalk is a really calm thing for the mind,” Yuki said. The colorful designs brought a cheerful touch to campus, lifting everyone's spirits.

On one of the Webb robotics team’s new Skytech Nebula computers is Jake Hui (‘25), engineer of Webb’s 358 Robotics team who is currently improving his team’s robot virtually in a Computer Aided Design application, or CAD. Before the building, the driving, and the victories, comes the prototyping of the robot.

“Right here [on his computer] is where the robot is designed, and I have access to all the parts that I need to try things out,” Jake said.

Technical computer skills as well as an intimate knowledge of how robots work is required to efficiently work in the CAD design space. The skills are well worth the time spent, as it can save hours or even days' worth of time spent on assembly in the real world.

"If there is a piece that we don’t have, 3D print it to see if it's really necessary before making an expensive purchase, as the parts can cost hundreds of dollars,” Jake said.

Following the election, Kamala Harris accepted her defeat in a concession speech, acknowledging the hard-fought campaign and urging her supporters to continue fighting for their values. Donald Trump’s victory and return to the White House was marked by a series of immediate executive actions, including withdrawing from the Paris Climate Agreement, reinstating strict immigration policies, and pardoning his supporters convicted in connection with the January 6th Capitol attack. “When Trump won, I understood that the history of the U.S. will be completely changed forever and began preparing myself to see extremism on the rise,” Marc Zambrano (‘26) said. For many, his inauguration signaled not just a political shift but a turning point in the country’s trajectory.

  I think it’s no surprise that I would agree with Ms. Lepore. And I’ll second the GREAT JOB. Let’s continue to have student-led activities that build spirit and community across the campus! As always, let me know what I can do to help make that happen!

I love theme nights so much. It gives everyone an opportunity to do things they don’t normally get to do. There are opportunities to act, create props, choreograph, do tricks, dance, and so much more. If you want to go all out and dress in full costume every day the week you can, but if you just want to spend 5 more minutes in the morning to wear a specific color in order to support your class you can do that too. Theme Nights allows you do do things you never would get the chance to do otherwise. I’m so glad we still got to have it this year!

This is foolish; it’s a complete waste of time for those who don’t wish to participate, and the fact that it is mandatory makes it even worse. I don’t see any reason why every student needs to be dragged into this, and those who want to do utilize their time better has no choice but to waste their time doing things they don’t want to do.

  Hello Webb Student!
  
  We are glad to hear your opinion!
