First semester is quickly but sadly finally coming to an ending. Lion Tales was quite the challenge this semester. Our 2015/2016 Staff reporter’s were almost all new to Lion Tales. Getting the hang of posting stories weekly and interacting with our fellow classmates was at first difficult for some. We hope that all our Staff reporter’s enjoy their winter break and come back ready to finish the school year off strong! Along the way we’ve recognized all the hard work our Staff reporter’s have put into this semester but there were 10 stories that stood out the most to our editor’s the most. Here they are:

10. Homecoming: A Night by the Nile

This was a memorable night for students who attended homecoming especially for the 2016 graduating senior class.

9. Scholarships: Pay your way to College
