![Made by the current events class last school year, a display on the Russia-Ukraine war hangs in the History Wing. The display has since been taken down, as over a year has passed since the war began. “This war shouldn't have started,” junior Misha Eberle said. “Nobody should have to die over these geopolitical forces that are just playing a game of chess.
