#trends What is a trend? A trend is a topic that develops in society, whether it’s makeup, dance, fashion, memes, etc. We have had many trends in the past from chokers to patched jeans. Topics become a trend usually through social media, such as Instagram and vine (R.I.P Vine). These trends develop through sharing posts. The more people to see the trend, the more people to follow. When people see other people following a trend they’ll think “Oh, this trend is popular”, and will feel the need to join. People who set these trends are called “trendsetters.” Trendsetters are usually celebrities. This is because they have the most twitter and Instagram followers. So, of course their fans would want to follow their role model. Kylie Jenner is actually one of the biggest trendsetters. She influenced others to enlarge their lips, which created the Kylie Jenner lip challenge. Kim Kardashian started the waist trainer trend on Instagram, posting pictures promoting the item. Later to come out is the Kylie Jenner Lip Kit that all the girls says they have to have. Miley Cyrus made a comeback starting the twerking craze. So, yes it’s true celebrities are one of the top influence on the young-lings. Today we have many trends. Starting from mixing videos and the all around highlight trend. People are beginning to make videos implying that your highlight needs to be brighter than the sun. Even men beauty gurus are taking over the beauty channels on Youtube. Yes, men doing makeup might be weird to us, but it is trending on Youtube starting with Jeffree Star. Trends can be made out of popular trends that existed back then, such as the choker, overalls, and winged eyeliner. These have been around for a while, but have come back to light these days. So, yes trends come and go but will always leave a piece of history in the fashion industry. Who knows? Maybe Vine will come back from the dead later in the future, and the Cam dab will once again be a dance craze.

Happy Birthday Mrs. Rickard!She's the first person to see in the morning, and last one to lock up in the evening- Mrs. Rickard is patient, kind, and generous through all situations. She incorporates the true aloha spirit, and what it takes to bleed blue and gold as a Saint Anthony Trojan. We cannot thank her enough for all that she does for student, staff, and the SAS 'Ohana.

Spring Break- By Kyshalee V.Spring break is just around the corner for SAS students, and it’s a fun time for all of us! If you have any work to turn in please do so now for a worry free spring break. Other than turning in work, it’ll be about two weeks until the break. Technically your break will start on Saturday the 18th. Then you return on the 28th. That’s a good 10 days of break. Fun fact: 1.5 million students go on spring break and collectively spend over one billion dollars each year. That mostly includes shopping.The number one U.S. spring break place to go is Daytona Beach. The beach is located in Florida, so if you have the chance to go to Florida you should go visit the beach. If you need any ideas/suggestions on what to do during your time off, here is a list of things you could do. 1.Go to a friends house 2. Go to the mall 3. Spend time at the beach 4. The tv is always there 5. Sleepovers 6.Go do some DIY’s. The main purpose of this break is just to relax and enjoy. In conclusion of this article, I hope you all have a wonderful spring break and enjoy the time off. :) Spring Break- By Chamberlynn Y. Hey guys it's Chamber and i’m your reporter for this week, we're going to be talking about spring break. Spring break is coming up soon so, for all the people who don't know what to do for spring break here's some ideas. For spring break I like to go cruising or to the beach. Some beaches I like to go to is black rock, bigs, or cliff house. Also, maybe even going to the mall to go shopping or even watching a movie. The best thing about spring break to me is, I get to sleep in or even sleep all day. I get to spend more time with my family and friends. You don't have to worry about homework or waking up early. On spring break you can go traveling or take a tour around our beautiful island of Maui. Or, even join some programs that include activities for kids or families. Some beautiful places on Maui you could go to on spring break are, Lahaina, lavender garden in upcountry, Hana, Kahakuloa, and Haleakala. Lahaina has nice beaches, nice hotels, popular restaurants, and really nice sunsets. The lavender garden is a nice place that has great scents and scenery. Hana is a place where you can go and take a long drive with your friends and family and look at nice waterfalls. Kahakuloa is also a long drive but has beautiful views. Last but not least Haleakala, it’s very cold up there but has the prettiest sunsets or sunrises up there. Spring Break-By Max M.Hello all, My name is Max M. I am here reporting on the biggest event coming up this month: Spring break. I will be detailing the activities open in the community for spring break this year in this passage.

Homecoming 2017!Hey my name is Kassidy Star and this week we’ll be talking about homecoming. Homecoming was 2 weeks, February 13-24. Each day had a different dress up day. The actives we had were the following: Week one we had Songfest practice. Week 2 we had an activity towards the end of school like the Moray Challenge and a variety of rallies. During Homecoming we had a different schedule. It was Per 1, 2, assembly, recess, 3, 4, then activity or songfest practice. It was great to see the Middle School students showing their school spirit. I love seeing other students dressed up and in happy moods. For songfest our Middle School theme was “Disney”. Some of the Middle School students stayed after school to make props for songfest. Also the Middle School Student Government spent a lot of time on Songfest songs. 8th graders Kyshalee, Toa, Anjel, Elise, Tina, Luke, Kaylee, and myself helped create Songfest lyrics and planned out Lip Sync. We placed 1st for Lip Sync and 3rd for Songfest. We wouldn't have done a great job without our awesome Middle School teachers. One activity we did was called the Moray Challenge and it was different water challenges/activities. There was a long slip n slide, a climb up and water slide down thing, and a big ball. It was really fun having the whole school come together and have fun. We also had a “water” rally where we played activities including water. It is fun watching all the different graders playing the games. I feel like everyone enjoys Homecoming week. Homecoming week is what I look forward to every year. Thoughts about Homecoming:What was your favorite part of homecoming ? Why? Ryan: Lip sync because it was hilarious.
