The Davenport West Competition Team has a team huddle right before they go out and perform at State. The team motivated each other with speeches and prepared each other to give their best performance.
“I’m so grateful for the amazing friendships Ive made not only with my peers but with the staff as well,” Martens said.
“My biggest takeaway is I would say the people who are on the team, like all of us, I consider each and every one of my brothers. And we all became really close and you can tell from how much we appeared as a team,” said Haines.
“My advice to students is get as involved as you can, because when you get to be an upperclassman, and you do end up getting involved, youre gonna look back and be like, wow, people have done this for four years and I just now started and youre gonna regret it,” said Izzy Martinez.
Mr. Flaherty and Mr. Baldry sit and play outside of Flaherty’s classroom during the second to third block passing time. “[We] decided to do something goofy that gets people’s attention and bring it to the hunger drive, I guess,” Baldry said.

Two students engage in a fight while a third student records. For some students, pulling out their phone to record would be their first instinct if a fight went down.

In order to do this, everyone needs to elect officials that represent the change they want to see in the nation. Youth may only comprise 25 percent of the nation’s population, but they are 100 percent of the future.
