This past September, Golda Och Academy students returned to the school’s hallways after four long months of learning from home. We now wear masks, social distance and complete daily health screenings before entering the school. Some students, however, continue to learn remotely by zooming into their classes.

The world is currently facing a massive environmental crisis. Carbon is being emitted into the atmosphere at an alarming rate. This is expected to warm the planet significantly over the two degrees Celsius agreed upon by the Paris Climate Accords. It’s a colossal problem but as a society, the tools to stop it are within reach. By Yoni Arzt ‘22
