For our Spring issue of The Squire, we decided to turn the student spotlight to a certain outstanding senior. Ellie Strausser is one of the top three students in the class of 2021. She is also President of the senior class, as well as President of National Honor Society. Ellie has been active in both soccer and basketball through the school and was named captain of the soccer team this past season as well.
The summer is coming up and everyone is asking what to wear as the seasons change. A lot of the trends start on TikTok or from Generation Z’s style inspiration, Emma Chamberlain, an American Internet personality who has gained over 10 million subscribers on YouTube. She recently came out with a YouTube video titled, “What I’m Wearing This Summer,” after receiving thousands of comments throughout her social media platforms over teens asking her what she will be wearing. It has over two million views and continues to rise as it has only been out a few days. The Squire has done the work and found the hottest trends for summer 2021.
Summer is just around the corner, and people are ready to pack for vacation. However, with new guidelines and the Covid vaccine, airlines might limit your opportunities to travel outside of the country. “Covid-19 has made traveling really difficult over the past year,” Ms. Howe, an English teacher at Eisenhower, expressed to The Squire. “Although it is becoming better, as some places are allowing proof of a negative Covid test or vaccination for traveling.” Ms. Howe, an avid traveler, has also wanted to visit Greece to see the historical sights and stay at one of the islands. “I will get there some day, but it will have to be once traveling [out of the US] that far is a little more feasible.” While trying to keep safe during these difficult times, families can plan a car trip or even a Covid safe trip throughout the United States.
