Tyler Okonma, also known as Tyler, the Creator, is one of those artists. With the release of his eighth studio record, CHROMAKOPIA, it’s clear that...

Stepping away from their textbooks for the day, APES students spent their time collecting debris off Hampton Beach. According to APES teacher Daniel Grant, 1,561 pieces of debris were collected weighing 19.71 pounds.

“I think it was successful for the students to see the amount of debris [on the beach]– and this is from one section of one beach on a Tuesday in October,” Grant said.

This trip has been a yearly event since Grant started teaching this class in 2013. Each year students collect debris, log the type and amount of debris, weigh each debris bag, and reflect on their observations.

Tyler Okonma, also known as Tyler, the Creator, is one of those artists.

With the release of his eighth studio record, CHROMAKOPIA, it’s clear that he is changing the game of Hip Hop with his striking bars and catchy melodies. Okonma is breaking his usual every two-year release pattern after releasing in 2023 and saying he wouldn’t be releasing in 2024.

Okomna is also breaking the music industry norms by releasing the album on a Monday morning instead of the usual “new music Friday” releases. With each album that Okonma releases, he tells us a story.

Let’s dive into the risks this album takes, song by song, to discover the new story that Okonma is bringing us.

Students get a head start on their teaching careers through the Future Educators Club, where they meet twice a month to explore the world of education. This club offers students a unique platform to explore their interests and gain hands-on experience.

English teacher Matthew Smith has been the FEA adviser for around ten years and has enjoyed talking about education with different students.

“[The class] is basically designed to give students an opportunity to get an inside look at what it is like to be in the education field,” Smith said, “not just being a teacher, but school counselors, administrators, any kind of case managers and special ed, and all that kind of stuff.”

With this being the knitting club’s second year, adviser and science teacher Jessica Girvin has plans to expand the focus of the club. Instead of simply helping people learn how to knit or crochet, Girvin hopes to incorporate charity projects into the club that will benefit both the students and organizations.

“There’s a lot of great charity organizations out there and it’s really cool to learn a new skill but it’s also good to learn a new skill and help people,” Girvin said. “I wanted [charities] that were attainable and not going to take us the entire year. Things that people could work on and pick up and put back down whenever we met.”

Metivier believes the season went “well” after a rough start.
