Hi everyone! Happy New Year and welcome back from the holiday break! We are so excited to bring you our very first issue of 2023!

In our fourth issue of the school year, you’ll get upto-date on important news here at Sion, and within the United States. Turn to pages 4-5 for a brief update on the winter sports teams and new Spanish teachers, as well as information on the classified documents found in the possession of President Joe Biden.

Then, learn about this year’s musical, “Little Women,” and meet the March sisters (pg. 6-7)! Read about senior Kori Franklin’s Debutante Ball win and her preparation process (pg. 8-9).

As we near Valentine’s Day, learn about the science behind love and heartbreak, and the role that school, social media and other environmental factors have on relationships (pg. 14-17).

Read about the true effectiveness of New Year’s resolutions and alternative methods of goal-planning (pg. 22), and then get the scoop on nepotism babies within the entertainment industry (pg. 23). Finally, plan your perfect Galentine’s evening with various romcoms and a delicious dessert recipe (pg. 26-27)! We have worked so hard on this issue, and we’re so excited to share it with you all! We hope that you love it as much as we do, and we wish you a wonderful 2023!

Cheers, Sophie & Zahra

“My business is called Disco Daisies. I started when I did the Sion Marketplace during the Deep Dives and I sold sweatshirts, and then I had a lot of leftover designs and images that I had made. My favorite part about it is that it’s a really easy way to earn money, and I think that designing the little artwork is so fun, and it’s cool to see people actually want to buy it because they like your artwork. At first, I didn’t get anyone buying it at all, but then it started to finally pick up, but that was probably the hardest part. On RedBubble, you can upload the artwork and sell it, so I’m really excited.”
