The Echo is a Kuna High School news publication, focused on getting current news that happens in and around Kuna High School. We update our newspaper and articles every month, so look for breaking news, events, and learn what is happening around KHS and the community we share. We are very excited to be reporting the news this year and we thank you for checking out our newspaper!
When you watch the news and see what is going on around the world you see things like war, politics, weather, and sports. There’s a lot more on the news that goes unnoticed and sometimes it can be pretty interesting!
There are funny stories like in Alameda County in California, a mouse was seen doing a “Ride-along” on a sheriff's deputy windshield. The mouse was sitting right in the windshield and stayed there for a couple miles before the cops noticed him. The mouse was safe and had the time of his life!
There are also interesting stories that can be quite sad. At an airport in Maryland a women was flying home with Spirit Airlines. She had called a few days in advance to make sure it was okay to bring her emotional support hamster on the ride with her to Florida twice and they approved this both times. When she was boarding her plane they stopped her and told her she could not bring her hamster onto the plane with her. Ms Aldecocea claims the airline representatives suggested she “flush it down the toilet at the terminal”. She flushed the hamster "She was scared, I was scared, it was horrifying trying to put her in the toilet," she told the Miami Herald. "I was emotional, I was crying. I sat there for a good 10 minutes crying in the stall. I didn't have any other options. She was so loving. It was like she knew I needed somebody”. However, Spirit Airlines denies saying that she should flush it.
In Kenya, there was a mixup and four surgeons mixed up two patients tags and took the wrong one into surgery. The surgery was to remove a tumor in the patient’s brain. The surgeon's did not realize they were operating on the wrong patient until two hours of searching for a tumor that wasn’t there. The patient survived and is in good condition but as for the surgeons "The management has suspended the admission rights of a neurosurgery registrar” said Dr Kronos.
A lot of things happen in the world that we don’t hear about. We only hear about the devastating things such as war and crime. We also hear about politics and weather. The news can be interesting and sometimes hearing odd stories such as the “Mouse Ride-a-long” can be a good thing. We are all so caught up in the negative parts of life that we don’t realize there are brighter sides.
Spring break is coming upon us this month. Most of us may have plans while others may have no clue what to do. Well if you have no clue I’ve got a few for you! During spring break this year down in Moab, the Easter Jeep Safari is going on. It is a huge event that happens every year; you do have to sign up in advance because this is a very big event. Eastern Jeep Safari is an event that takes place in Moab, Utah and it’s where all of the jeepers go down for a week and just go 4 wheeling. During spring break you can always grab a couple of friends and head down to Indian creek and float for the day. You can also always do the classic and have a sleepover with your friends and throw a party! Sometimes your parents may have already made plans for you, but if you don’t want to go you can always just suck it up and go with because you never know, you might have a little fun.
Poetry is an unsurpassable embodiment of both expression and enlightenment. It supplies people with the opportunity to convey their unexplainable thoughts through the simplistic stroke of a pen onto paper, and gives many a way to tell their story in a situation where they may never receive the chance. The lyrical tale is by far more than art, but a language in itself connecting to each individual soul in a variety of ways. Many use it as an escape, but I say it’s an entrance into a different universe all together; where society’s limitations are defiable and anything is attainable. The craft is used everywhere, everyday whether people realize it or not. It’s found in the kind-hearted act of helping someone with their groceries and in the cruel, vicious storms the East experiences day after day. Poetry is not merely rhyming word after word but the act of creating a spiel with every letter written.
Because of how important poetry is to our everyday lives, the KHS newspaper is putting on a poetry contest for all Kuna High School students. This competition will give students the chance to get their talent recognized and express the way they feel without judgement. Students can submit up to two original poems of any style, length, topic, and it could have been written at any time.
Submissions will no longer be accepted after March 21st, 2018, so be sure to hurry!

“Well, last March something happened between my dad and his wife, at the time I was wearing makeup and one day my stepmom noticed that her mascara was missing. She asked my dad about it and he told her that I was not stealing her makeup and she became immensely upset because he sided with me over her and they got into days worth of fights. One day I came home from school and i saw that she was throwing all of his clothes outside of the window and I eventually realized she was drunk. Over time he came home and they got in a huge fight and she smashed a painting over his head causing him to bleed from the head. Over time the cops came over while they were just screaming and I had to go my moms house and they got divorced, but a while ago he announced they got back together and now i'm mad at him and idk if i should forgive him”.
Well this was a pretty big fight but if I was you I would forgive him because this fight has only happened once, and they are adults so they should be able to get their stuff together. If they believe that they can quit fighting and actually make things work then let them try it out again. It’s not like the fight started because of you because you didn’t steal the mascara. It was very petty of her to get in a physical fight with him, but if she believes that things will work out, maybe they will.
March 10th is the first track meet in Kuna don't miss it!
Overcrowding at Kuna High School has been a problem for many years. The school has over 1,400 students, and it was only built for 1,200. With the immense student body consistently getting bigger each year, many problems have been arising, including limited parking. While for years, the parking lot has been a problem, this year, a solution was formed: parking passes.
