Sunday school will be available

Natally Leon, Staff Writer

At Hoover, students have the opportunity to clear their attendance with an easy solution,

Saturday school. Fortunate for those who actually attend, unfortunate for those who chose to stay home and get some extra rest. Hoover has come to the realization that the attendance for Saturday school is very low and inconsistent, therefore, they have decided to start and offer an alternative, a religiously appropriate Sunday school.

To clear up any confusion, for four hours there will be different teachings every Sunday based on religions.  Information on what religions will be discussed will be posted the week of. The school will be very open to any suggestions or opinions on this as we know it may come off a bit controversial but the administration and some staff decided this to show support for the students here at Hoover. So if students are not able to attend Saturday school, they will now have Sunday school! Hoover wants as many opportunities to clear up any bad attendance as possible so students are able to be successful.

This will start on the second Sunday, April 13, of this year. This could potentially be carried on to the next school year depending on how well the attendance is for the last 2 months of this school year. We encourage students to come if they are not interested in going to Saturday school, and are expected to follow the same rules as Saturday school, no phones and doors close at 8 AM. The school hopes to see many Cardinals there since they are doing this for students to clean-up their attendance, especially for the seniors whose numbers for absences and tardies are high.

Everyone is welcome to Sunday school, and it is one of many opportunities to clear your absences and tardies. Going to Sunday and Saturday school, while staying after school for tutoring throughout the week, will definitely make a big change in a student’s attendance. All three will help!

April Fools!

Natally Leon is a sophomore at Hoover High School. Natally enjoys reading fictional books and writing about basically anything. She loves cats but isn’t the biggest fan of dogs. She hopes to be very successful and rich in the future.  Her plan to make this dream a reality is to work hard and go straight to college after high school. Her biggest role model is the strongest, smartest, most hardworking woman she knows, her mom. She looks up to her mom and hopes to be just as kind and hardworking as her when she’s older. She looks up to her siblings too. They all work for the life they want and they travel to a lot of cool places. Her family is her biggest motivation. They keep her from failing, support her, and always remind her to keep her head up no matter what. She’s not too sure what she wants to work in yet but once she finds what’s for her, she’ll do everything in her power to be successful in it, and having so much support from her loved ones will make it easier to succeed. Her favorite foods are menudo, buldak noodles, and breadsticks from Olive Garden. Her favorite drinks are water, sprite, and sometimes Dr. Pepper. She enjoys hanging out with her friends and going to Starbucks or the mall.  When she’s not around her friends, she’s at home with her cat and her family either baking or playing video games with her siblings. She thinks that we can make a change in the world by keeping our planet clean and picking up trash from the floor even if it’s not ours. This is our earth so we have to keep it nice and clean. She also believes society should be less judgy, instead of being ugly to someone and ruining their day, try to make them feel good about themselves. There’s no reason we should be bringing each other down, we’re all human and we’re all living for the first time.
