There are certain subjects and questions you just can't talk about with your parents or even a teacher. That's where a school mentor comes in. Our school is fortunate enough to have a lot of resources for students, like Mr. Pierce, who can help us out of these awkward situations.

Sometimes life gets stressful. We heard about the idea of taking a sensory walk to help de-stress your day. So we decided to try it for ourselves.

Basically, you walk around a specific place and notice anything you can see, hear, smell, feel or taste as you go.

Senior producers Al and Aliyah ask our other student producers to share their observations on the block around our school.

We recommend trying this in your neighborhood!
