The “East Chant” or also known as the “Vikin

The “East Chant” or also known as the “Viking Chant” has been passed down to underclassmen band members for years. At the pep rally on April 11, senior Dylan Levitan passed down the tradition to Sophomore Dexter Stephens.

“Around that time we were struggling as a school to bring unity between all the student support groups at home games,” Band Teacher Alex Toepfer said. “When the student section started doing the Viking chant with Syd and the big Bass Drum, combined with an arrangement of 7 nation army I wrote out for the band, it really clicked and quickly became a tradition, and I feel like it's helped create a really positive, unifying, and fun atmosphere for our home games.”

I’m a total sucker for pastries, especially ones

I’m a total sucker for pastries, especially ones with delicious chocolate or vanilla fillings. So when Venezuelan-inspired local Kukiss Bakery popped up on my Instagram explore page with a flaky hazelnut croissant stuffed with hazelnut filling, I immediately saved the post so I could go try the treats for myself.

The website’s menu has three pages filled with a variety of cookies, bread and other pastries. I picked out three croissants that caught my eye — either through its described flavors or appealing visuals. The bakery only accepts online orders where a customer selects a time to pick up their items from Kukiss’s home bakery in Overland Park. Orders are ready for pickup within a day of being placed.

The National Pickleball League added the Kansas City Stingers as a part of a six-team expansion for the 2024 season, adding to Kansas City’s reputation of the “most pickleball obsessed city,” according to offers.bet.

Stingers co-owner and owner of the SW19 pickleball facility on State Line Daryl Wyatt says pickleball’s popularity is displayed by the quantity of facilities and courts around the metro-area.

“It creates a lot of excitement for Kansas City Pickleball and for the club,” Wyatt said.

The annual Sephora Savings Event is a makeup lover

The annual Sephora Savings Event is a makeup lover’s jackpot, and one of my favorite events of the year.

Until April 15, members of Sephora’s rewards program — which you can sign up for at checkout by giving your phone number — can get anywhere from 10-30% off select products in store, depending on your rewards status.

It’s an excuse for me to wander around Sephora for at least an hour, picking out products that I wouldn’t usually try if they weren’t on sale. If you’re wanting to take advantage of this sale but you’re unsure what to buy, here are some of my favorite products that you should pick up before the sale ends.

Youth and Government Club is holding their annual

Youth and Government Club is holding their annual political panel where local politicians will answer political questions from students in the Little Theatre on April 23 during seminar.

Students will be able to submit questions in advance on a Google form available on the club’s Instagram page, @smeyouthandgov, two weeks before the panel. The Youth and Government Board will decide what questions are chosen based on the frequency of the questions and their relevance to current events, according to YAG co-leader and senior Emma Krause.

“The panel is a pretty unique opportunity,” YAG co-leader and senior Eve Benditt said. “I don’t think anything similar is really offered at other schools [in] Shawnee Mission or otherwise. It’s a really awesome chance for people to have these direct conversations.”

Three TikToks. That’s how many enjoyable clips of funny skits and dancing videos I could watch until a commercial about the upcoming movie “Fall Guy’’ took over my screen. I rolled my eyes and kept on scrolling, three videos later I groaned as an advertisement for Duracell batteries came up.

I remember a couple of years ago there were no ads on TikTok, and I could just spend way too much time watching funny clips and following the latest trends. But as the popularity of TikTok rose, so did the number of ads.

From sponsored posts to influencer endorsements, it seems like there is no escape from the constant stream of advertisements that litter the platform. This over-saturation of ads disrupts the user experience.
