Two months of work, 25 gallons of black paint, a decor shopping spree and a whole lot of help from family and friends – that's what it took to make KayElla Studio come to life.

This summer I got to work as an intern at the Transcript, and my favorite part of the job was being behind the camera. At the end of the school year our Black Sox boys made it to state baseball, which hadn't been done in 24 years. I covered the region championship and several of the state games. I remember being in the dugout on the last play of the region championship game. I was getting ready to take all of the celebration shots when one of our players turned to look at me and told me to move because they were all gonna jump over the fence...
Are you willing to risk your health just to have straight hair? In 2022 a study was released that links the use of specific hair straightening chemicals to an increased risk of uterine cancer.

Since then about 15 more students have joined to help stop bullying. The Kindness Club was started by these girls mostly because of the amount of bullying that goes on. The club founders know that bullying happens most often outside...
