Dear Readers,

We have officially passed the halfway mark of the school year and are making our way back onto campus after the holiday season. The end of this season signals the beginning of a new year, which comes with reflections on the past and appreciation for our community and those around us. 

Community is also prevalent on our campus as it houses a multitude of academic clubs and organizations, as seen in the “All Rise”: Woodbridge High’s Mock Trial Team Heads to Court and Science Olympiad Gets Up and Atom stories. Throughout the year, team members are working hard, studying and preparing for competitions together. This group effort and teamwork is also reflected in the sports on campus as showcased in the The Varsity Girls’ Basketball Team Looks Forward To Cooking Up Chemistry in the Run to Defend Their League Title story. Leaders on campus are also working hard to manage and facilitate their team as showcased in the Five, Six, Seven, Eight: Hannah Shea Leads Woodbridge High’s Dance Team as This Year’s Captain story. Additionally, security staff on campus work each day to keep our campus safe and ensure that both students and staff feel comfortable being at school and connecting with their community, as showcased in the Woodbridge High Security Staff Serve as the Backbone of our Community story. 

This issue, Golden Arrow hopes to highlight the groups within our community and appreciate their contributions. Even though we all come from different backgrounds and are members of different groups, we are still all a part of the greater school community; the Woodbridge High community. We hope that you are able to embrace your surrounding groups with open arms and be able to support those around you despite the differences you may have. 

Happy Reading,

Ethan Crawford and Ruby Yang
