At Olathe Northwest a case of Tuberculosis was reported in late October. Since then 4 more cases have been reported, and this is not including people who are not showing symptoms. Over 430 students and teachers have been exposed, and the school is giving out tests to people in the building. So far only 270 people, out of their 1,883 students have been tested.

Illnesses spreading throughout schools can affect everyone. Teachers are constantly having to help students make up work. Students are having to make up work and are missing practices, tests, and assignments.

Madi Brown, Graphics Manager
Hi guys! I’m Madi Brown, I’m a junior and this is my second year in SPUB! This year I am the graphics manager and I am so excited to help make a beautiful yearbook, along with sharing stories about not only what's happening at the highschool, but also around the world. Outside of school photography is a huge passion of mine and if I am not at school or practice you are likely to find me at the sideline of a sporting event taking hundreds of pictures.
