Sweeny Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, is the new spring musical coming to Glen Allen High school. The actors have been practicing really hard, and very often, to make this one of the best musicals yet and like every other Glen Allen musical, it’s going to be great. The musical will be presented April 25th-27th from 7:30 p.m. and typically lasts about 2 ½ hours. The tickets are $8 at all lunches and $10 at the door.

The musical is about a man named Sweeney Todd, played by Owen Rice, who is looking for revenge after he was sent away to prison for 15 years. Sweeney Todd joins forces with Mrs. Lovett who owns a meat pie shop on Fleet Street. They unexpectedly create a bond and Sweeney Todd promises to take re…

The AP Capstone Program consists of two courses, AP Seminar and AP Research, taught by Mr. Towslee and Mr. Zelenak, respectively. For AP Research, students must submit their performance tasks (a written paper and oral presentation) by April 30th. This year, students are doing projects ranging from topics on how exposure to nature affects teens’ to social media’s effects on perceived body image of teenagers.

If you want to help out in your Richmond Community, FeedMore is the place to do just that. FeedMore, also known as the Central Virginia Food Bank, is a wonderful organization that prepares, collects, and distributes food to the those in need.

Last month I had the chance to interview FeedMore’s CEO, Doug Pick. Mr. Pick, who has been in this position for seven years now, had plenty of good things to say.

Growing up watching Marvel movies, I always was so drawn into the action and drama of the heroes. There was Captain America, the immensely buff, handsome, and persevering superhuman who was given a serum back in the 1940s to turn him into a ‘Super-Soldier’ (he was then frozen in ice for 70 years, ended up fighting with the Avengers, etc., etc.).

These two men are the popular front-runners of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, acting in unison with the not-so-occasional opposition with one another to lead the pop culture icons, the Avengers.

Over the p…

Red Cross Club, a new club at Glen Allen High School, focuses on giving blood, helping victims of disasters, and educating people about emergency preparedness and fire prevention. The current officers for the 2018-2019 school year are: Mia Varghese, Nancy Hoang, Anna Liu, and Momina Raja.

This club has over 20 active members and holds meetings on the third Friday of every month in the lecture hall.

The club learned about the types of fires and how to properly put out  fire. In January of 2019, the …
