By Kayla Rogers and Elke Coenders Kayla Rogers: Centre Shifts to Remote Learning “Snow Day” “School is not worth risking your life for,” my mother said Saturday morning as I debated whether to drive from Frankfort to Danville. For me, I reluctantly decided not to risk the icy, snow-coated roads, though it made me anxious…

Many students complained about just about everything – from raw chicken at Cowan, to burnt nuggets at Late Night, and everything in between. It was clear that something had to be done. Last semester, Centre and Parkhurst chose…
