The Hallpass Manifesto

 in Blur by
Fairfield Warde High School, it’s that time of year.

The lunchroom, small gym, and library have been filled to capacity, leaving only the auditorium as overflow. Students are questioning where their absent teachers are, and why there […]

‘Tis the season. No, not yet of Christmas but of a new generation of drivers. As frantic new drivers take to Fairfield’s streets, there are some rules of the road that are neglected here at Warde: our Hallway Traffic Laws. Alright so maybe the Freshman are new, but no matter […]
