![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)

![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)
