As homecoming makes its way to campus, from the homecoming proposals to dressing up for spirit week, the Downey Dance Team has been preparing for their grand performance for the homecoming football game on October 15, 2021 at the Allen Layne Stadium.  This year, the Downey Dance Team has decided to switch up the type of dance they will be doing for the Hoco football game, by doing a jazz dance instead of a hip hop dance. Entering her second year on the Downey Dance Team, Sophomore Isabella Escobedo explains how this year’s performance will differ from previous performances. “This time we’re definitely more focused on being very clean and precise,” Escobedo states. “However, we are still having lots of fun.”

Our school dance team hosts a refreshing drink stand that is perfect for the hot weather. Delicious agua frescas (flavors such as watermelon and lemonade), Gatorades, and cold waters are sold from $1 to $6. It is currently a “hot spot” for students after school on Thursdays that catches everyone's eyes. No one would want to miss out on this perfect opportunity. “I started Thirsty Thursdays with the Dance Team girls in order to help us fundraise for our intense year, especially since we hope to go to Florida again this year! With the support from our coach, team moms, and peers… this fundraiser has been able to be a huge success and we hope to continue it every Thursday throughout this hot weather.” - Maya Mercado-Garcia, 12.

Having started her business in February 2021, Arianna Chavez, 11, hopes to highlight the importance of cruelty-free makeup with the products she sells at the Fall Flea. For the future of her business, Chavez hopes to implement more sustainable packaging for her products to reduce waste contribution. “I wanted people to know the importance of cruelty free makeup. All the makeup I sell is cruelty free brands, including my lash line and my lash serum which is both organic and cruelty-free,” Chavez said. “We’re also working on more environmentally safe products, which is where we’re hoping our brand goes next.”
