  • The egg casualties left behind by the Period 5 Physics class taught by Mr. Ritche Manzano are promptly cleaned up by the custodian to keep the campus clean.

  • The amount of unsuccessful attempts were enough to fill two trash cans worth of designs.

  • Senior Rangga Firmansah holding his attempt at the eggdrop. Firmansah followed a tutorial on YouTube and used straws and tape. “We are testing our projects to see if it will survive from a distance,” Firmansah said. His project was successful.

Our Goal

LAUSD's budget leaves the award-winning journalism program at Van Nuys High School with a $0 budget in the upcoming school year. Without YOUR support, The Mirror cannot cover its expenses, hurting students directly and putting something that took years to build at genuine risk of falling behind.

Please consider making a donation to cover other VNHS journalism program expenses this school year
