Hi everyone! My name is Hunter O’Connor, and I am a senior at Lake Stevens High School. One of my hobbies that I have picked up is photography. I love taking pictures, and I especially love the retouching and editing. I hope to utilize this skill in my upcoming role in The Valhalla. I’d love to help other staff learn how to operate a camera and take journalistic photos. After graduation, a goal of mine is to work in real estate and to buy rental properties.

LSSD and Kusler’s Compounding Pharmacy partnered to set up a vaccination site to vaccinate teachers and paras. “They were very quick, clean, efficient and kind. I got an email reminder about a week ahead of time to schedule my second shot with them and the process was just as smooth,” Britton said.

Upskilled Teaching: LSHS Teacher Karen Morton interacts with students through Google Meet during distance learning. She learned a lot about herself and her profession while she taught virtually. “Going out of this, there’s going to be some positives, like me as a teacher, I’ve probably told you this, I was a teacher that wouldn’t take any paper, any assignment electronically. Now I don’t know if I’ll take hard copy assignments anymore,” Morton said.
