My New Life by Amanda Willis | May 30 “Inside of me is a call to help others understand that while the pressures of life are hard, we don’t have to project perfection. You simply have

to

to persevere. How do you do that? Keep an eye out and I’ll explain how I’ve found the keys to unlocking the answers. I hope and pray to tell this story so that it resonates with others, and they, too, may find the hope, joy, and renewed faith I have found.” Sisters and Best Friends Prepare for 2023 Miss Texas Pageant May 23 “The word “pageant” can often evoke an immediate negative emotion. Some think of the stereotypical girl vying for a sparkly crown and tearing her competitors down at all costs to win. In reality, the Miss Texas America pageant is the opposite. The Miss America pageant is a scholarship organization focused on community service and scholarships. They provide over one million dollars to titleholders nationwide.” LEISD Senior Perspective 2023 by Derek Murphy, Jr. | June 13 “High school. The most transformative and impactful journey in a teenager’s life. No one has the exact same experience, and yet everyone walks away with the same diploma. Individuality is what makes life unique, and I am blessed to have had a wonderful high school experience.” Songs, Sass, and Sequins by Tammy Lummus | March 14 “Four-States Fusion is Texarkana’s all-female, barbershop style, a cappella, song and performance group. The choral ensemble consists of twenty women of all ages from Texarkana and its surrounding

areas. To say that this group is talented is, perhaps, the biggest understatement of all time. It is not by accident that these musical friends join together to combine such extraordinary talents.”
