Finding Balance: Through the intense volume of music, Andrew Blankenship (21) tries to balance his extracurriculars and school work. Before and after school I spend my time working with my show choir team, Blankenship said. As soon as I get done working with them, I go home, grab a quick snack and then work on my homework until Im ready to go to sleep. He has a busy schedule with before and after school practices and tries hard to balance the stress of it all.

Just Keep Swimming: Swimming is not the end-all for Zachary Kozak (22). I honestly dont know what Im going to do with swimming, but I could be a coach, Kozak said. Although swimming after high school may not be in his favor there are other options for the future.

Making Memories: Throughout all-state, Liam Pohlmann (21) has made many different memories with the many different people he has met. My favorite part of all-state is everyone I meet through the ensemble, Pohlmann said. To this day, I am still friends and actively talk to people that I met in all-state. Although he may not go to the same school as them, he still holds all the experiences they shared throughout all-state.

Principal Proclamation: Although an open lunch would be nice, there is not enough time in the day. Do I think it would be nice to have, yes, do I think its practical to have a GHS, no, head principal Mr. Todd Mueller said. We are not built that way to have an open campus lunch. In thirty minutes we have to get kids out of class, down to the office to check out, go to their cars, drive to a restaurant, get food and have to get back to school within thirty minutes. Its never gonna happen. Gretna does not have the infrastructure.

D-D-D- Defense; The underclassmen are sad to see players leaving such as pitcher Grace Buffington (21). I will miss the seniors, Ella Watts (23) said. Not just because they did a lot for the team, but also because they were my friends in real life, so its just sad to see them go. Not only Watts, but everyone left on the Dragons softball team said a sorrowful goodbye as the seniors played their very last high school game.

Perfect Shot; Ive been doing photography for about four years, Gabriella Goday (21) said. I was able to spend a lot more time and get better shots of landscapes since there wasnt a lot of people around. I wouldnt say I perfected it but I definitely gained more knowledge about it.

Playing Softball; We will follow the NSAA guidelines and make the most of whatever time they give us, head softball coach Mr. Bill Heard said. A lot of benefit of being on a team is working together, so I really hope that isnt taken away from the kids.

Peoples Postcards; My mom came and told us that we should participate in this Project Lift Up for her work, senior Maeya Gydesen said. We wrote out heartfelt messages to residents in assisted living homes to put in goodie bags for them, and then the pharmacy took them to all of their assisted living homes to brighten the residents day and make them feel better during this crazy unknown time.
