It’s homecoming week! Sequoia hosts its first homecoming rally on the football field since distance learning. Sequoia junior and Spirit Commissioner Anneka Gomez reflects on the planning that went into this event. “We’ve faced a lot of challenges with being on the field, [but I] think [the rally is] good and I hope people like it,” Gomez said. “I am so excited to have a rally again; this is the best way to spend a Friday afternoon in October,” Principal Sean Priest said. The last photo shows the grade relay race, that included a wheelbarrow run and three-legged run. Photos and reporting by Hope Callaghan, Greta Reich and Abby Aguayo. Caption by Madeline Carpinelli.

Hundreds of people gathered in the Yerba Buena Gar

Hundreds of people gathered in the Yerba Buena Gardens of San Francisco to celebrate Indigenous People’s Day. Native people shared their culture with the community through song and dance and spoke out on the injustices they face in America. The celebration empowers people of all backgrounds to learn about Indigenous culture, recognize the land that they live on, and show support towards Indigenous people. “It’s important to have the proper representation and take back our land; it’s rightfully ours,” said Jessica Mendez, a vendor at the event.

POETS IN PRACTICE. During the tail end of the online school year, seniors Marta Olson, Isabelle Simon, and Skylar Wiggin, created a collection of Sequoia students’ own poetry for their CAS project. It represents the culmination of the thoughts of students from the year. “I like writing and submitting my own work to anthologies, and it was fun to be on the other side of it for this,” Wiggin said. Simon agreed, “It’s cool to have it be a physical book that you can hold.”
