FUHS Advanced Photo students will showcase their work at the Light and Color Art Show, hosted in the campus gallery Dec. 5 from 6-8 p.m. Above is one of the show’s pieces called “Ultramarine” submitted by senior Dusty Wheeler. While setting up their yard on Halloween, Dusty took this self portrait while sitting next to a fog machine. “The lighting alongside the fog complemented each other,” Dusty said. “My thought was to immerse myself in the obscured luminosity which produced my final photo that you see here.”

About 25 members of the National Honor Society will be participating in the KM Legacy Walk on Thanksgiving morning. The Kindness Matters Legacy Foundation was created by FUHS alum Katie Monson in 2017 when she was diagnosed with cancer while she was attending UCLA. Monson was the Fullerton ASB president in 2015-2016.
Soon after being diagnosed with Glioblastoma, an incurable brain tumor, Monson started the KM Legacy Foundation which provides funding for student leadership activities and brain cancer research. To raise brain cancer awareness, the KM Walk was created in 2017, the only walk Katie would attend before her death in 2018. She was 20.
Since then the foundation has continued Katie’s legacy, donating over $600,000 to fund research and scholarships.
NHS is promoting the walk by offering volunteer hours for attending the annual event but we at the Tribe Tribune recommend that everyone attend.
The cost to register for the walk is $11.60 for students and $22.20 for adults. NHS members should sign up as part of the “FUHS NHS/CSF” group. If NHS students need financial assistance, please reach out to an officer. Here is the link to register for the event: KM Legacy Walk Registration

Thespians donate to Pathways of Hope
The FUHS chapter of International Thespians collected 2,475 pounds of canned and non-perishable foods throughout October that were donated to Fullerton Pathways of Hope. Students also set up a table in front of Stater Brothers on Oct. 19, asking patrons to consider buying extra cans to donate when they exited the store. Several students went trick-or-treating in Fullerton on Halloween, but instead of asking for candy, they asked for canned donations. Thespian president senior Katherine Timmerman’s car was filled with the canned donations. She took multiple trips to transport the donations to Pathways of Hope.
