Sabi Yoon, News Editor
I currently serve as the copy editor for the Talisman newspaper and have been part of the publication for one year. What I love most about journalism is the opportunity to write truthfully about important issues and engage in meaningful storytelling that informs and educates our student body. I have a strong interest in law, government, public policy, and creating positive change in the community. I hope to write more about issues affecting our community today, especially those impacting youth, and to learn more about these important topics. I’m excited to collaborate with all the editors and reporters this year to ensure another successful year for the Talisman.
![West Seattle High School’s (WSHS) Chinese program is closing down and teachers in the program are informed to transfer to a different high school. At WSHS, 475 both former and current students have signed a petition to help teacher Ying Yu continue her Chinese program. She shares that initially, the program offered only four classes with 90 students but with her initiatives, the program grew to be full-time with 154 students and 137 students on the waiting list.
