On Feb. 27th, the PTSA hosted the annual talent show in the PAC, raising a total of $2,132 dollars. Snacks were sold as well as “shout-outs” where Mrs.Mitchell and Mr.Clark read them on stage in between performances. Clark said it was “impressive how dynamic the student body is and how supportive the crowd was. Mitchell and I had a blast doing the show!” Junior Regene Odon said, “I rehearsed just as much as I would for any other performance.” He sang “Thinking Out Loud” by Ed Sheeran. Sophomore Michelle Finn performed “Over My Head” by The Fray with Marlea Maltz. Finn said, “We had a lot of fun doing it… it was so, so cool to be a part of.” Junior Kennard Johnston said, “I felt extremely nervous in the beginning with the anticipation of messing up but after I began I relaxed and sang and played just fine.” John- ston played piano and sang “If I Ain’t Got You” by Alicia Keys. Junior Alex Mayer performed magic tricks by making metal rods magically bend and then asked Mr.Clark to accompany him for the next part of his act. Mayer had Clark sign his name on a newspaper and Mayer proceeded to rip the paper into smaller and smaller pieces and eventually put those same pieces back into its original form, amazing the crowd.

    Kendall Murphy Advisor: Archie Lee Coates IV 4/24/2017 Kendall Murphy School of Visual Arts, MFA Design for Social Innovation Thesis 2017 Process Book 1 “It’s my job as an artist to be out there pushing peoples’ buttons and making them question everything.” Marilyn Manson Problem: High Consumption Rate of Animal Products According to the USDA, the average American consumed 180 pounds of meat Figure 1 in 2014. As human population grows, it generates more demand within the food system, possibly disproportionately for meat products, as we are currently consuming more meat, eggs, and nuts than the recommended amount (Figure 1). As consumption rate increases, so do greenhouse gas emissions, strain on our fresh water supply, land use, and livestock waste, which contributes to ocean dead zones. Animal agriculture is responsible for more greenhouse gas emissions than all combined global transportation.1,2 About 44 percent of livestock emissions are in the form of methane (CH4).2 The remaining part is almost equally shared between Nitrous Dioxide (N2O, 29 percent) and Carbon Dioxide (CO2, 27 percent).2 CH4 has 25 times the global warming potential of CO2, while N2O has 298 times the global warming potential of CO2.3 Animal-based food products are also extremely water intensive compared to alternative high-protein foods. For example, it takes as around 12,139 more liters of water to produce one pound of beef compared to one pound of rice and beans.4,5 When animal waste is improperly managed, it could pollute waterways with excess nutrients, contributing to algae blooms which lead to the degradation of oxygen levels, and thus create dead zones.
