![Spending their seventh hour in the cafeteria Jan. 6, juniors Matthew Feng, Sangarshan Kumar, Michael Feng, Govind Menon, Om Shinde, Samarth Samal and Bennett Christofferson join a Zoom with their teacher to get help with their assigned work.

If I can cover the content by myself with my teacher available on Zoom, Im flexible with any option.”](https://PWestPathfinder.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Sub-Shortage-Red-300x200.jpg)
