The the shelter! term “chip” refers to a small microchip insert- ed under the skin of the animal on which the name and address of the owner of said animal is stored. Shelters check animals for chips and thus can acquire the information stored on them and return them to their families. The reason for the rise in animals before Christmas is unknown, even by those working at the Stanislaus County Animal Shelter. How- ever, there have been several proposed reasons for this change in admittance rates to shelters in Modesto and across the country. It is sus- pected by some that this is due to families buy- ing new animals and dropping off older ones at shelters or not knowing they have become responsible for in the purchase of an animal. The Huffington Post has reported that many believe that the influx is due to holiday travels, Winter Homecoming 2018 by Anna Rinne and Sarah Rinne The first week back from winter break, January 16th-19th initiated this year’s annual basketball homecoming cel- ebrations. School spirit radiated from stu- dents in excitement over all of the hallway decorations, dress-up days, an exciting rally, homecoming royalty, the homecom- ing dance, and, of course, the basketball game.

Between the JV and varsity game, each individual class presents a float and skit that represents their theme. A panel of judges then watches and scores their performances. The freshmen had a fun skit where they acted as if they were Mii characters in the Wii Sports game. Their float represented a Wii console with a Wii Sports disc protruding out of it. The freshman skit included a tennis match and a lively dance number to end it off. The sophomores brought lots of energy and spirit into their Just Dance inspired skit.

  • The Show Must Go on Modesto High Continues to Adjust to the Challenges Brought on by the Pandemic
    The Show Must go On Modesto High continues to adjust to the challenges brought on by the pandemic. Schools Reopening: Our Path Forward After almost an entire semester of distance learning, many students, teachers, and parents are eager for schools to reopen for in-person learning. In fact, according to a district survey, 66.75% of grade 7-12 parents said they would send their student back to school if MCS is able to safely transition back to in-person learning. Howev- er, with new cases of the Coronavirus surging, the question remains of how the district will be able to reopen schools while maintaining public health and safety. The school district has been meticulously work- ing on a plan to fulfill students’ and parents’ desires to reopen schools, while keeping safety at the forefront of their decision-making pro- cess. At the board meeting on November ninth, Modesto City Schools approved the “7-12 Safe Schools Reopening Plan.” According to the plan, students will be divided into two cohorts, groups A and B, which will attend in-person classes on different days. The district will also focus on enforcing mask-wearing and sanitizing practices during school hours. Carson Carranza, the Student Representative to the Board, supported the decision, stating that, “The longer we stay in distance learning, the more students are going to fall behind… these numbers keep slipping.” He elaborated by bring- ing attention to the fact that failing grades have nearly doubled during distance learning. Currently, grades TK-6 have already returned to in-person learning, which has proved to be suc- cessful thus far.
