Raha Murtuza, Arts Editor
Raha Murtuza is so excited to spend her second year at the Tide as the Arts editor! Last year, she wrote for both the arts and sports sections. In her free time, she likes baking cookies, watching Fixer Upper and crocheting.
![Art teacher Mr. McDermott hosts a cookie social for his third period 2D art class. He provided most of the cookies, but some students brought baked goods from home. I had these friends, Rob and Lucy, who would host ice cream socials at their farm in Pennsylvania, he said. Before the pandemic, two years ago, I had a cookie social for my class. [One of my current students] was in that class and hes been asking me every day when the cookie social is going to be again. I think its such a weird word!](https://thermtide.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/MURTUZA_050422_CookieSocial-Raha-Murtuza-900x675.jpg)

The World Central Kitchen, which was founded in 2010, is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing meals during disasters. [Our goal is] to raise money and to spread awareness about Ukraine at RM, SGA advisor Toni Kellinger said.](https://thermtide.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/IMG-0199-Raha-Murtuza-900x675.jpg)
![Freshman Caroline Kaye presents at the first meeting of RMs newest club, Economics, Government & Politics (EGP.) Kaye founded the club, which is sponsored by AP Government teacher Bill Vicari, to provide an opportunity for students to discuss current issues and trends in American politics. I feel like theres a lot of tension because people dont understand whats going on, she said. [I started this club because] I wanted people to come together and sit down and have a discussion about politics. Its something that Im passionate about and I want to get other people excited about it, too.](https://thermtide.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/MURTUZA_011321_EGP-Raha-Murtuza-900x675.jpg)
