“When I look at you, I don’t see your mistakes

“When I look at you, I don’t see your mistakes.”

David Harbor's heart-felt performance as “The Red Guardian” doesn’t begin to establish the amazingly realistic and fleshed-out characters of Marvel’s newest film “Thunderbolts*.”

Before I watched “Thunderbolts*,” I didn’t know the difference between a “dark” film and a “gritty” film. Gritty films are grounded in realism and dire situations while dark films can present themselves through many different genres.

While the film is easily Marvel’s darkest — having some of the most emotional and personal moments since “Infinity War” and “Endgame” — watching "Thunderbolts*" was the most fun I’ve had with a Marvel film since I was twelve.

Freshmen met outside the main office to draw messa

Freshmen met outside the main office to draw messages for the seniors with chalk at the senior sidewalk send-off at 9:30 a.m. during seminar on Tuesday, May 6. Students wrote messages on the sidewalk that read “Good Luck” and “Congratulations” around the main circle drive to the seniors, ate popsicles and took pictures with their chalk designs. Freshman Connection, a SHARE community service program, organized the event as a way to celebrate the class of 2025. Students split up in teams of two to four to plan and create designs to send off the seniors, which were then judged by the SHARE execs. The event was open to all grades. The day after the event, the drawings were washed away after a rainstorm hit Prairie Village. This event was freshman connection’s last activity of the school year.

At noon, a false Code Red Lockdown was allegedly t

At noon, a false Code Red Lockdown was allegedly triggered by a substitute teacher in team games, mistakenly calling for a Code Red instead of a first-responder lockdown protocol, according to SM East students.

The substitute was attempting to get first aid for a student who was reportedly hit in the head with a softball during the team games class, and accidentally triggered the Code Red protocol instead.

Red lights began to flash in every classroom, and an automated voice warned faculty and students of the Code Red.

“Lock the classroom door. Code Red turn out the lights, stay away from sight. Maintain silence. Code Red,” the automated voice said.
