Daylight Savings May Change
By: Nathan Haehnle
The U.S Senate has come up with
Daylight Savings being the only time
changed and to double the time of how long
it lasts. The Senate says that it isn’t
America’s biggest issue but it is one that
many agree on. They bring up that 71% of
Americans in 2019 agreed that they didn’t
like switching their clocks around twice a
year. The House Of Energy countered that
the hour switch would be hard on many
people, making them more tired in the
mornings increasing the amount of car
accidents like normal Daylight Savings
Time does. Even some of the supporters
agree to that claim. States like Arizona and
Hawaii would be immune for this change, as
they do not observe daylight saving time
already. A big debate for this topic is the
effect on the economy it would have.
“Moving it forward would give businesses
more time to do their thing.” supporters
argue. This case has gone to our President
Joe Biden but he has not made any public
comments besides saying that he is
reviewing it deeply, Vice President Kamala
Harris has made no public comment. All that
we know for now is Joe Biden and Kamala Why You Need To Do School Work During

Summer Break Is Very Important
By: Madeline Sepsey
Summer break is extremely
important, and very much needed. To begin,
summer break helps students unwind, and
helps them relax. If students do not receive a
break they will become overwhelmed and
stressed. Secondly, during the summer
students can earn money, and learn how to
be more responsible on their own.
Additionally, studies have shown that
summer break helps reduce students'
irritability, and helps them become more
relaxed, and lessens the chance of a mental
illness. Furthermore, summer break helps
give time for families to bond and spend
time together. It's harder to spend time
together during the school year because
students have school seven hours a day, and
they have school responsibilities, like
homework and studies. It is true that some
knowledge can be lost during the break.
However, people can choose to study over
the relaxing break, and all the content that
was supposed to be covered should be
covered during the school year.
Conclusively, the summer break allows the
chance to unwind, make money, spend time
with your family, and reduce the chances of
developing a mental illness. If you think that
summer break should be eliminated, take
another look at all of the benefits; maybe
you will change your mind.

Stranger Things
By: Riley Avery
Stranger Things is a popular show on
Netflix. The show takes place in the 1980s
in Indiana. The popular show currently has 4
seasons. The first half of season 4 came out
on May 25, 2022. The other half comes out
in summer, on July 1st, 2022, and will have
9 episodes instead of the usual 8 that are in
the other seasons. All of the episodes will be
over 60 minutes long. The last episode will
be 2.5 hours. Many fans are excited to watch
the new season. But others are upset that the
last episodes will be released a bit over a
month later because they don’t want to wait.

Fun Things To Do During Summer
By: Mariah Shemwell
Ahh yes, it’s that time of the year
again. Swimsuit weather, beach weather,
cookout weather, you get the idea.
Summertime in Michigan can always be fun,
all you need is some friends and maybe a
beach. But, if you don’t like beaches, and
maybe all your friends are off on some
tropical vacation, here are some things to do
and events to give you something to do and
maybe make your summer a little bit more
fun.
Are you into hands-on activities?
Great. You should try hiking in some of
Michigan’s beautiful scenic hiking trails like
the Greenstone Ridge Hiking Trail. If you
travel the full distance, you would’ve
walked 43 miles of Isle Royale National
Park. Or maybe if you’re not too into hiking,
you can visit one of Saint Clair County’s
fairs like the Goodells 4-H & Youth fair. At
this specific fair, which happens annually
around the beginning of July, you’ll be able
to experience many things from petting
hundreds of types of farm animals like
goats, horses, chickens, etc. Lots of carnival
rides, some delicious fair food, and of
course an opportunity to get some quality Trampoline-A trampoline and a large
time with friends and family. bouncy platform that allows people to jump
Perhaps you just like sitting back and and lastly.This gives parents a chance to just
enjoying things, sight-seeing, and really relax and their children to have the time of
taking in scenery. Some fun things to do their life while also getting tired out.
would be something like the Mackinac
Island Lilac Festival. The Lilac Festival is
held from June 3rd to June 12th. This fest
has themes annually and this year is Flower
Power. This festival is mainly to appreciate
lilacs and their unique history to Mackinac.
You can experience parades, tours, planting
seminars, the Lilac Queen coronation, live
music, and more!
Of course there's many things to do
in Michigan, not only in the summer, you
just have to know about them. From
climbing a mountain to sight-seeing,
Michigan has lots to offer and rarely
disappoints.

Beach toy sets- Beach toy sets
are used to make fun creations in the
sand at the beach.These large sand
creations could consist of sand castles

that's always lots of fun for everyone.
Normally these sets come with a pale
shovel and a rake.
