A mural of 14-year-old Native American woman Sage Deal towers over the corner of Tejon St. and Pikes Peak Ave. in Downtown Colorado Springs. This 77-foot mural, called "Take Back the Power," was painted by Deal's father Gregg to bring awareness to the plight of missing and murdered Indigenous women across the US. The red handprint over the mouth is a national symbol that these victims are being silenced and that those who keep their victimization quiet have blood on their hands. (Courtesy of Raven Payment)
Dear America: No More Stolen Sisters
Journalism teacher Mr. Brandon Coon scowls at the camera when asked, "show us your teacher attitude face!" In all seriousness, it seems that some of the teachers at FHS don't realize how the moments of cynicism, apathy, and grumpiness affect their students.
Dear Teachers: Lose the ‘Tude
Junior Doris Lian and sophomore Leigh Tilton hold their noses in the gym. With sweating bodies playing sports, the gym should be the stinkiest place at Frederick High, but the sad truth is that dishonor belongs to the large freshmen classes. With some teachers needing to open their windows to let out the freshman funk after class, it's time the class of 2028 to grow up and stop the stink.
Dear Freshmen: Fix Your Funk
