![Jefferson’s astronomy club showcases various videos and
presentations on outer space, attracting those interested
in the subject. “Since second grade, I’ve been obsessed
with astronomy. I think the reason that sort of comes from
is [because] I really like fantasy and science fiction, and I
think astronomy is one of the few places in the real world
where everything really does seem fantastic and magical,”
senior Myles Carley said.](https://www.tjtoday.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/IMG_0814-3-1-1200x800.jpeg)
![At the Peaceful Fields Sanctuary, freshman Sita Lamartin helps care for various rescued animals by replacing straw in their beds. “[The sanctuary] will take in farm animals and rescue them, such as a turkey that wasn’t rounded up for Thanksgiving or a cow that escaped from a dairy form. When I hear their stories, my heart breaks, but I love forming friendships with the animals,” Lamartin said. “Every animal has their own personality. The other day, one of the goats thought my finger was food.”](https://www.tjtoday.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/DSC_0005-1200x935.jpg)
![Taking over the blaring crowd with their sound, the trombones add a commanding presence to the marching band’s musical ensemble during the Back to School Bash. “You get a lot of adrenaline when you’re playing,” junior John Yao. “You just finish a really hard piece and the crowd goes, yeah, [TJMC] is so cool. You have three or four moments during your show so it’s pretty cool.”](https://www.tjtoday.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/tjmcp1.png)
![During a dance to a mashup of “Wannabe” and “Vogue,” junior Mandy Huang, bottom middle, lifts her hands at the end, striking a pose with the other junior dancers. “At first, [MEX] was stressful because practices went by so quickly and it felt like I would never be able to memorize the choreography, but the choreographers were amazing,” Huang said. “When we were about halfway to Homecoming, turnout to practices was so low that one of our choreographers brought bomb pops to try and lure people back into MEX.”](https://www.tjtoday.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/IMG_3858-1-1200x800.jpg)
![Blocking your way into the Hopper Commons is this sign that discourages other students from eating lunch here. Every Thursday, this sign makes sure that AP physics students have the ideal environment to focus on the SLOB. “[Last week’s] SLOB had a very high success rate, much higher than I actually thought,” Mark Hannum, the Optics Lab Director, said.](https://www.tjtoday.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/pasted-image-0-21-1200x900.png)
