![MORE THAN A GAME. With two diving catches in the outfield, the Lions showed up defensively, aiding in their victory over the Pacers. One catch was made by Atwood, and the other by McGraw. Throughout the game, the Lions knew that it wasn’t just about their victory today. “I think [playing for cancer] makes it bigger than just a game,” McGraw said. “Knowing that you have a bigger impact in this world than just who you are as one person.”](https://wlhsnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/I70A1454-1-1200x800.jpg)

The students brought a variety of paints and mixed their own custom colors. “Instead of brushstrokes, we’re doing more dabbing, because it gives [a] better impression of tree foliage, rather than looking like actual brush strokes, because if we’re painting trees, we need it to look like trees,” Crawford said.](https://wlhsnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/IMG_2397-1200x900.jpg)
Happy December Artists & Writers!
Looking for your outer-space themed artwork. Galaxies, zodiacs, constellations, stars, planets etc.
K-SCOPE is taking submissions through December 31st for their December inspiration.
Our school’s literary arts magazine is featuring artwork & writing themed to outer-space. This means stars, planets, galaxies, and constellations.
A more specific theme is what is your Christmas star?
With the Christmas holiday around the corner and our two week break, West Linn students have plenty of time to think about what the holiday means to them-whether that be spending time with family, friends, or immersing yourself in the world of your imagination.
Do you have a special constellation, star, or galaxy that means something special to you this holiday season?
Here are images of some of the artwork & writing that has already been submitted.
We hope to see more submissions coming in from students throughout the holiday break!
Have a great holiday break artists & writers and please don’t forget to submit to K-SCOPE!
Quote of inspiration:
“I had always seen myself as a star; I wanted to be a galaxy.”
