Juniors George Evanisko, Santiago Criado and Larry Schrag and sophomore Deen Nori set up the rocket before the launch. “A big misconception about this program is that most of the effort is in building the rocket or the payload. I would argue that most of the work, literally hundreds of hours, was spent designing and planning prior to building anything,” Criado said.

With TJ Theater Arts’s production of Matilda: The Musical having its opening weekend this past weekend, let’s make an homage to the show: the slice of chocolate cake eaten by Bruce Bogtrotter in one of the pivotal moments of the story. Matilda tells the story of a young genius stuck with a kind teacher and oppressive principal, and TJTA’s production of the respective musical has been described as the biggest show the department has ever done. Directed by Mr. Reid, nearly 40 TJ kids across all 4 grades are involved in this massive project, spanning months of preparation and rehearsal.

"Although I know I wasnt able to depict a full picture regarding the social justice system... my hope was to be able to deliver the fact that what seems like a thing of the past still remains to this day, even though many are taught to think that we have become a completely different society from what we were just 50 or so years ago."

At the Oscars, CODA also won the Best Picture.
