Gracie Ito (11) thought the event was great, as it gave West’s drill and all male team time “to bond with them since [they were] going to nationals together.”](https://whssignals.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/japanese-dance-teams.jpeg)

Foggy mirrors and wet clothes have become a part of the start to every morning. Faith Iwanaka (12) has had to “leave a little earlier than usual and drive carefully” on the way to school because, “the recent storms have definitely made the roads around [her] neighborhood more slick.”](https://whssignals.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/unnamed-2-900x600.jpg)

The ever so popular St. James Fair returns! Held annually at St. James Catholic School for educational fundraising, the fair was open from Oct. 7 to Oct. 9 this year. Students from across the South Bay gathered for the thrilling rides, mouthwatering appetizers, and game booths. Attendee Alan Bribiesca (11) expressed his excitement: “It’s pretty fun to come and hang out with friends, while messing around. It was worth paying [for tickets] for this once in a lifetime experience.” (Pictured: Jordan Seiler (11) and Alan Bribiesca (11))](https://whssignals.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/st-james-fair.jpeg)
