Freshman class president Julian Hong has experience leading his sports team, while freshman vice president Kennedy Do said she has a long experience with her passion for leadership. Hong and Do said they hope to welcome the freshman class to in-person sports events and competitions. Do said she tried to acquaint herself with more freshmen in her classes and during orientation during the first weeks of school so that more people would know her during the election. “I went to JLS so most of the people who were there are currently at Gunn,” Do said. “I didn’t know that many people who weren’t here so it was a really nice opportunity for me to get to know everyone in my grade.”

As part of the Palo Alto High School Associated Student Body’s effort to promote student mental health amid prolonged stressful circumstances, students will engage in daily mental health challenges throughout the upcoming Wellness Week from March 22 to 26. According to ASB Clubs Commissioner Johannah Seah, Wellness Week will provide students with the opportunity to learn about managing their mental health and integrate helpful practices into their lives. “I thought it would be a great idea, especially since Paly is a very stressful environment,” Seah said. “I think knowing more about the wellness resources and how we can be advocates for ourselves is a really good tool for students.” Graphic: Kabir Advani

The upcoming Tea with Teachers event offers students a virtual way to connect with Palo Alto High School teachers and discuss shared interests at lunch on Friday. According to senior Cindy Lui, the Associated Student Body treasurer and member of the Tea with Teachers planning committee, the goal of the event is to give students an opportunity to get to know both their own teachers and others that they may have in the future. “Hopefully, it will increase the sense of community at Paly, especially between underclassmen, especially freshmen, and the teacher community,” Lui said. “I hope this opportunity will be a chance for them to know each other better and spark some dialogues between the two, which I feel like rarely intersect except in a typical classroom setting.” Photo: Paly ASB
