Senior Brittney Wood has never been afraid to express herself creatively. Whether it’s through dancing, singing, acting, or writing, Wood has always put her all into each project, and she intends to do the same as a staff reporter for the Valhalla this year. “I [chose] Journalism because I thought it would be cool to write something that could inspire someone...I want to make someone think,” said Wood. Outside of the Valhalla, you can catch Wood participating in Lake Stevens High School’s Drama Club, choir, and cheer team.

Many students in the class of 2016 suffer from senioritis and the only cure is graduation. “I think senioritis is silly. A lot of times I think its an excuse for a lot of people to give up, or be lazy or an excuse for people to think they dont need to put any effort into the end of their high school career. Dont get me wrong, I am looking forward to graduating and moving on to the next part of my life, but that doesnt mean I deserve the right to be a bum and not respect what I am expected to do for the rest of the year,” said senior Amanda Anderson. The debate is still active as students argue weather senioritis is well deserved from years of working hard or just an excuse for seniors to cast away their responsibilities.

Does senioritis affect the level to which you enjoy or succeed in your senior year?

Brent Barnes gets fired up on the sidelines while coaching. “The relationships over time that you create with your athletes is the biggest part, the part that you take with you, not the wins and losses and the banners and the trophies,” said Barnes. This mentality comes out while coaching every match and shows in how much passion he has for the sport and the love he has for his athletes.
