Holding up the transgender pride flag, senior Tony Morse takes a picture in his binder. He got the flag towards the end of middle school. “The flag for me is a symbol of pride,” Morse said. “It reminds myself and others of who I truly am. I am wearing a binder in my photo; I used to be very very self conscious of letting others know I used a binder. Now, I am comfortable enough to post pictures of me in it and wear it out in the open. I feel as if I pass enough. Once I get top surgery, I am so excited to not have to deal with wearing the chest binder. It definitely takes a toll on me having to wear it.

Sewing two layers of a mask together, freshman Hannah Choi creates masks to donate to BJC hospital, the police department and nursing homes. Choi’s neighbor gave her the idea to donate masks to first responders. “This is the first time I’ve ever sewn, so it’s new to me, but sewing is helping me pass time. Once you start, it’s kind of addicting, and it takes away my boredom,” Choi said.
