Local country singer Taulia Lave performed in the school’s main courtyard. The sunset poured down in the middle of Lave’s set, leaving the Academy canvased in a variety of pastel colors. He serenaded many of the Paniolo Paina attendees, who were enjoying their dinner at the time. Creamy cheeseburgers and classic Filipino dishes were a few favorites from the variety of food truck and food booth options. Student attendee and volunteer Marrissa Thompson said, “Taulia was really great. It was nice to hear his music while volunteering.”

This year, senior Jenica Wong became the first student from Sacred Hearts Academy to play football. She represents the all-girls Catholic school on PAC-5's football team. Her coaches say she is treated the same as the boys and that her dedication and hard work earned her playing time. "The first actual game I played…we were versing Saint Louis School (SLS) and up by 10 points,” she said. “Toward the end of the game, the special team’s coach grabbed me by the collar and told me, ‘hit somebody,’ and I went with that in mind.” While she didn’t make any plays that day, PAC-5 won the game against SLS, with a score of 10-0. “This was not only a win for PAC-5 but for the stigma that ‘girls don't belong’ or ‘girls can't play,’” the 17-year-old said about the October game.

Sadfishing is a growing social media trend, in which people post emotional content of themselves to gain sympathy from followers. A recent study by BMC Psychology states, “Emotional posts are often shared online during or shortly after an emotional experience with the intent of evoking supportive feedback from others.” This editorial cartoon depicts sadfishing by showing a young girl "fishing" in a metaphorical lake. Her big catch is a smartphone, which shows a post she made on social media. The girl is upset and crying in her post. The fish circling the phone symbolize her social media followers, most of whom are friends who know her. They reach out through direct message to find out if she is okay. Then at the bottom of the lake lies the deeper meaning beneath her post. Experts might say that sadfishing, or fishing for attention, is a call for help. Loneliness, depression and low self-esteem are a few reasons as to why someone might sadfish, according to experts.

Last November, Mauna Loa erupted for the first time in 38 years, sending rivers of molten lava down its side and drawing crowds of spectators hoping to see the volcano in person. In this explosively comical story illustrated above, readers will “lava” out loud, with the roller coaster of emotions this sensitive volcano faces. The eruption strikes the curiosity of a local news reporter, who discovers how the world’s biggest volcano also has the biggest emotional heart. Mauna Loa sees itself not as a destroyer but rather as a creator. At one point during the eruption, the reporter shows fear for what’s to come as things are “getting heated.” In the ensuing scene, a supporting crab character sees Mauna Loa’s uncontrollable outbursts, yet notices the perspective of the misunderstood volcano. Knowingly, the crab finds the positive through this natural disaster and is appreciative of the land that will soon be added with the lava’s flow. Illustrated by Kennedy Wardlaw.
