A Reflection By Santiago Arnaiz
Last week we received word about a special event for incoming freshmen to be sponsored by the seniors. I really didn't think much of it at first, though the thought of having a lesson-free day of fun activities is always very welcome. We all looked forward to it, not quite knowing what we were in for.

7/15/2008 - SINGLE-SEX SCHOOLING
The comparative benefits of single-sex and coeducational schooling have been much debated over the past 50 years. The proponents of single-sex education argue that boys and girls have differing needs and that their styles of learning are different. They point to data demonstrating the comparative under-performance of both boys and girls in coed classrooms. Proponents of coeducation argue that mixed education is more in keeping with the mores of modern Western society, and that children from coed schools are better adjusted. Both contend that their own approach is truly
holistic.

By: JonT Vergara
Southridge has always been proud of its tradition in theater arts. Over the course of its twenty eight years, numerous stage productions have been put up by both students and faculty. The annual Christmas Play was an endeavor which the whole school looked forward to, not just to view it, but more importantly, to be involved in the entire process leading up to opening night. Over the past eight years however, a new tradition has emerged for the Southridge students to look forward to. The Plautus Plays are annual activities which students look forward to accomplishing.
Proud to be Southridge!
