Christmas Lights Are
Worth the Drive We planned your holiday decoration tour this year. Just grab your family or friends, some Christmas cookies and this map.
1103rd and Metcalf, east side of street: A massive display of lights blinks to the rhythm of a Christmas music radio station. Drive through the parking lot to get the best view.
2Lee Boulevard, between 83rd Street. and 103d Street: Many houses along the street go all out for the holidays with inflatables and themed displays, but a few also connect their lights to a radio station.
3Outlook Lane, cul-de-sac south of 79th Street: The whole street, also known as “Candy
Cane Lane” goes all out every year. Each house decorates with a theme ranging from
Santa’s reindeer to the Grinch, and a massive Christmas tree ends the street. 4 Romany Road running east off of Ward Parkway: Residents decorate every house and wrap all tree trunks with white lights, and other stunning decorations are nearby at the
Plaza and along Ward Parkway. 5 Longview Campground off I-470 and View High Drive: This is “Christmas in the Park,” an annual winter wonderland around Longview Lake. It is free to the public, but be prepared for bumper to bumper traffic.

Wrapping Up First Semester
1. Seniors Olivia Garrison and Eva Bowles kick it into gear with the rest of the dance team at the pep assembly on Nov. 19 before Thanksgiving break. “It’s a good way for the school to see dances and to practice for Nationals. The adrenaline [during pep assemblies] is the same as during Nationals so it’s good practice,” Garrison said. 2. Junior Zoé Trouvé works on a junior’s poster for REbeL’s Be Thankful week. “Be Thankful week is important because it’s all about being thankful for what we’ve been blessed with inside and out,” Trouvé said. 3. Freshmen Elizabeth Ericson, Kendall Rogers and Gabby Grimaldi spontaneously dance to the Circle of Life during the winter pep assembly on Nov. 19. “I didn’t really know what we were doing so it was actually pretty fun, and I love dancing so it was fun just goofing around in front of everybody,” Rogers said. 4. Counselor Leslie Young and sophomore Loulya Alabed speak during the Thanksgiving interfaith prayer service on Nov. 17. “Everyone kept telling me that they support me and love me and they thought my speech was really great and it made me feel a lot better,” Alabed said. 5. Senior Molly McEnerney and sophomore Aidan McEnerney hug during the father-daughter mass on Nov. 10. “ [Having Molly here] is special because it’s her last year, and then after that I’m the last one in my family to go to Sion. So being able to go to stuff and be with my sister is really cool, and to be able to do it with my dad is also really cool because he’s seen my sisters go through it too,” Aidan said.
