    Interviewer: What has it been like tutoring for th Interviewer: What has it been like tutoring for the science and math center while being remote? Jasmine Lim, junior: It has been interesting since both centers have different styles that each other. For the math center, tutors are scheduled for an hour each per day and switch off after each hour. Some tutors tutor twice a week while others tutor once a week. It depends on how skilled the tutors are. The science center has tutors staying for the whole two hours and coming and going whenever they want. They all use zoom as well as google forms to keep track of who needs tutored, how their session went, and keeping tutor hours since most of them are full IB students. Breakout rooms are used the most and it’s quite interesting. It’s great review from previous classes as well.
    Interviewer: “How has COVID affected the way you Interviewer: “How has COVID affected the way you do things as a preschool teacher?” Tara Campbel, preschool teacher: “They’re not used to being away from their home, they're not used to being around other children, and that was difficult at first, but they actually have done really really well, and they understand essential distancing. So we have no wall locks that we have marked on the ground, where they can play, so we have green big green X's that are spaced six feet apart. And that's where they sit for circle time... So, they are great with wearing their masks, their parents have worked really hard with them, and they're so used to seeing it now out and about in the community, I think it's just become part of their lives.”
    Interviewer: What’s your favorite thing about on Interviewer: What’s your favorite thing about online school? Rohit Ukkan, freshman: My favorite part about online school is obviously the fact that I’m not gonna get sick. Other than that I like the way that it is structured, the 2 classes a day makes it a lot easier to manage hard classes especially from a freshman’s point of view. Also being able to learn while not having to dress up and go to school is a huge plus.

    Interviewer: “What are you most looking forward Interviewer: “What are you most looking forward to in the new year?” Griffin Campero, junior: “It’s kind of dumb, but I’m just looking forward to things getting back to (somewhat) normal. I really miss seeing everybody and I can’t wait to have that opportunity again.”
    Interviewer: “What are you currently doing in FH Interviewer: “What are you currently doing in FHLA? Ambal Kailasam, sophomore: In FHLA, we are currently giving presentations on various health- related topics, such as sleep, vaccines, and the process of medical school. We also play Kahoots on these topics.”
    Interviewer: “How is speech and debate this year Interviewer: “How is speech and debate this year different than last year?” Soniya Patel, sophomore: “Speech and debate has changed quite a bit since COVID. We don't get to interact with each other as much as before but the board of the club has done a great job trying to keep us all involved. Being online is much more convenient for tournaments since, instead of having to drive up to different schools to compete we simply just log onto a website. It is a completely different way of doing speech and debate but it is still really enjoyable.”
    Interviewer: What is the Cancer Awareness Club doi Interviewer: What is the Cancer Awareness Club doing right now? Ria Dudhia, a freshman: The cancer awareness club is doing a fundraiser with Jersey Mike’s right now to donate to cancer institutions and help support cancer patients. Our goal is to raise awareness and fund cancer research as much as possible. Recently we donated about $1800 towards different cancer organizations and want to continue to raise more money!
