Smiling at her zoom screen, junior Tiffany Ung tutors a middle school student. Ung began tutoring this week and hopes to make a difference in the mindset of students regarding virtual learning. “I know everyone’s struggling in their unique situations right now, so I figured by tutoring, I might take some things off people’s plates,” Ung said. “I want kids to feel confident in their school work so they don’t feel bogged down by everything going on.”

![In a game against Eureka Jan. 5, junior Tre Bell pushes the ball up the court to start a fast break while the defense is caught off guard. Bell has been playing basketball for the past 12 years. “To be honest I don’t usually think during games. I let my instincts [take] control because I trust my abilities and i’ve been playing for so long,” Bell said. “Before the game we were very eager to win because last year they [Eureka] beat us in the district semifinals so we owed them payback for that.”](https://PWestPathfinder.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/P1140059-240x150.jpg)

Jensen preferred in-person classes because it was easier for him to learn in a school setting, especially for choir. “Singing through a mask is pretty interesting because you had less air to breathe in and the sound that came out could be kind of muffled,” Jensen said. “[But] with [choir] it was much better to sing with each other in-person.”](https://PWestPathfinder.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/DSC_0006-1-240x150.jpg)

![Weighing her options, junior Shemaiah Saunders aims to pass the ball and cut to the basket for a shot. This season, Saunders has had to play her games while wearing a mask. "It’s difficult [with] other kids playing sports trying to breath and feel comfortable," Saunders said. "But COVID-19 hasn’t really changed much... I’ve known most of my teammates since elementary school, so it’s just cool to continue to play with them and graduate with them."](https://PWestPathfinder.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/DSC_0788-475x317.jpg)

![Conferencing with his coach after a meet, sophomore Jack Windler reflects on his performance from the previous event. Due to the many doubts about if there would even be a season, Windler felt grateful that he was able to swim for his school. “Receiving the news from MSHSAA that there would be a season was relieving,” Windler said. “This year really gave me a chance to reconnect with the team [as] a whole.”](https://PWestPathfinder.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/DSC_0803-475x317.jpg)
![Wearing dresses at Town and Country Square, sophomores Sami Eveland and Sammi Duncan dress up for their self-created homecoming. Despite COVID-19 cancelling school-sponsored homecoming , Duncan and her friend group decided to plan their own event and make the most out of the situation. “We were all super bummed about homecoming being cancelled,” Duncan said. “We just wanted to have a fun time with our friends whether it was for real or [fake], but we all knew that it was for our safety and getting to plan our own made us feel a lot better.”](https://PWestPathfinder.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/DSC-0290-475x317.jpg)
