They look like jellyfish, and it's really funny. And so you just see kids, like, moving their arms over their heads and like just dancing around. "The dances look kind of weird because they've likely come from TikTok."Įrika adds, "You can't hear the music. "Nowadays, when walking to school, you'll see girls literally surrounding the building who are dancing," Norah says in the podcast. One force that dominates both their virtual and in-person world? TikTok. Luckily, there is more to middle school than lockdowns. Chio says that if a lockdown lasted for several hours, she could use it, along with other toiletries, to create a DIY bathroom. The student journalists asked her to show them the emergency kit in her classroom, which among other items, has one surprising ingredient: cat litter. But she's all too familiar with lockdowns these days. The only emergency drills back then revolved around natural disasters: earthquakes or hurricanes. "Gun violence, social media and mental health are literally shaping middle school," Norah says in their podcast.Ĭhio, on the other hand, can't remember ever having an active shooter drill when she was in middle or high school. While our high school winner this year tackled a big local news story, with reporting from students and educators, Erika and Norah took on a more universal experience – the ups and downs of being a middle-schooler today. Their giddy laughter fills the empty school, their energy fueled by the knowledge that, in just a few days, they're off to summer camp together. Norah shows up to our interview wearing boots that she borrowed from Erika for the special occasion. The two friends just finished the seventh grade, but haven't been separated yet - they have seen each other every day since school let out.
