This past Friday after school from 2:30-3:30 PM, students gathered at the Cafeteria to attend Beyond The Oval: a college, career, and student job fair.

Students were given a “passport” that were to be completed and stamped by representatives from various companies, organizations, and colleges that they could then turn in to be entered into a prize raffle drawing. Students could sign up for job opportunities then and there by scanning the QR codes provided at designated booths.

Brochures and freebies including but not limited to water bottles, candy, sticky notes, pens, and a fan (for the first 50 to enter the cafe) were given to students.

In celebration of Free Speech Week, our advisor, Cynthia Reves, wore her First Amendment rights shirt. The First Amendment is important for us as journalists because it states that we have freedom of press.

Lighting of the M, a yearly tradition at McKinley High School, was held afterschool from 4:30pm to 7:30pm. Between the cafeteria tables and the gymnasium was filled with booths from clubs/school organizations, food venders and students and faculty alike walking around and enjoying everything!

As the sun goes down the main star of the show arrives, people head to and line up against the baseball field fence to watch the M be go ablaze.

Keep and eye out on The Pinion’s website for more photos of LotM along with pictures from the Homecoming assembly and game!

In Memoriam: Leif Allgood ’26
May 19, 2008 – Sept. 6, 2025

Leif Allgood touched the lives of everyone around them with their creativity, kindness, and authenticity. A staff writer for The Pinion and a dedicated shift leader at Teddy’s Burgers, their passions, friendships, and anarchy-punk style left a lasting impression on all who had the privilege of knowing them. A celebration of life will be announced at a later date.
