Welcome Back, Mary Ward Planet!
With a new team of fantastic journalists and artists, we are excited to bring to you our new initiatives
By Karissa Cruz and Ysmael Mendoza
Throughout the month of October, Teacher Supervisor Mrs. Powell and Editor-in-chief Karissa Cruz interviewed many candidates for the Planet’s executive positions. Together, they chose a diverse group of students across all grades for the 2022-2023 Mary Ward Planet Executive Team. Some are previous Planet members and others are brand-new additions to the team. Rounding off the Editors-in-chief is Ysmael Mendoza who joins Karissa as Co-Editor-in-Chiefs. To start off with our section editors, our World Issues editor is Shauri Taylor. The Planet’s Life section editor is Erika Nanquil Munoz. Next is our WACT section editor; Emmanuele Reyes. Justin Mikhail Espidido follows as our Sports section editor for this year. Our last section editor is Angela Lin, for Community. This year’s Planet’s Redactrice is Drea Abungin. Our Planet Relations is Franchesca Dairo and our Planet Webmaster is Joshua Crisologo. The Creative Spaces section editor for this year is Katrina Ross Rodriguez, while this year’s Art Editor is Bianca Daganato. Finally, our Junior Editors for this year are Fynley Clarete, Aby Villasis, and Daphne Da Costa. We are all extremely excited to be the Planet executives for this year and are looking forward to showing you what we have in store!
Our main goal for this year is to rebrand. We want to make our blog and our Instagram account look more modern and more appealing to fellow students and teenagers. As you can see, our blog is outdated and needs some renovation. As a result, a major part of our rebranding plan is to renovate the blog by updating our executive team, finding a better way to showcase our previous issues and changing up our aesthetic. Our Art Editor is going to create a new header and logo, while our Planet Webmaster is in charge of renovating the blog. We really want to grow our blog and the first step is renovating. Additionally, we are putting more focus on our Instagram account as well. The same logo for the blog will be used as our new profile picture for our Instagram account; @mw.planet. Along with our Planet Relations, we want to create aesthetically pleasing Instagram posts to draw people in and promote our work! We will also be using our Instagram account to promote many fun and engaging projects, so stick around for those! Overall, with this rebrand, we want to bring you a new Mary Ward Planet and expand our team’s amazing work to an even more amazing audience!
Now that we’re finally back to a completely in-person year, we decided to give the paper a chance to truly shine. Some exciting things that we have planned include a section in our Creative Spaces for writers and editors to share their own personal short stories/essays, in addition to a Reddit-themed section in Creative Spaces. Our newest feature called “Am I in the Wrong” is inspired by the new segment by Words from Ward, and story submissions will be open to all Mary Ward students. Students are encouraged to anonymously submit stories where they felt that they were in the wrong. We will be accepting submissions until November 21st, so submit your stories as soon as possible! In addition to our physical issue initiatives, another one of our goals is to introduce streeter interviews with different Mary Ward students on our Instagram, as well as create tri-annual news recaps on the happenings throughout our school community.
Overall, our plan for this school year is to bring new initiatives to our award-winning newspaper, recognized by the Toronto Star, to help give back to the students. All students are welcome to contribute by writing an article or submitting creative pieces to our creative space submission box! For any questions, comments, concerns or suggestions, please feel free to message us on our Instagram account, @mw.planet. We’re so excited for you to see what we have in store for our upcoming issue this December. See you soon!

Free books
I’m purging out my shelves which were overflowing, and thus have a ton of books to give away. Before I haul them off to charity I thought I’d see if any of them could find homes with any of my followers. They will be for free, but I will ask you to pay your own postage. I live in the continental US so if you do not I suggest it’s likely to be prohibitively expensive for them to be sent.
All are in good or very good condition except as noted. There are several popular bestsellers as well as some miscellaneous crap. First come first serve, message or ask me and we’ll figure out how to get them to you. Below the cut:
Fiction:
“V.M. Straka’s ‘Ship of Theseus,’” J.J. Abrams and Doug Dorst (HC, boxed, extras)
“Song of Years,” Bess Streeter Aldrich (PB)
“The Heart Goes Last,” Margaret Atwood (PB) some minor water damage
“The Birth of Venus,” Sarah Durant (PB)
“The Pillars of the Earth,” Ken Follett (PB) some minor water damage
“Star Trek Into Darkness: The Official Novelization,” Alan Dean Foster (PB)
“The Russian Concubine,” Kate Furnivall (PB) some damage to cover
“The Poisonwood Bible,” Barbara Kingsolver (PB)
“The New Annotated Bram Stoker’s ‘Dracula,’” ed. Leslie S. Klinger (HC)
“The Namesake,” Jhumpa Lahiri (PB)
“This Census-Taker,” China Mieville (PB)
“Ceremony in Lone Tree,” Wright Morris (PB)
“Bright’s Passage,” Josh Ritter (HC)
“Harry Potter and the Cursed Child,” J.K. Rowling (HC)
“Major Pettigrew’s Last Stand,” Helen Simonson (PB)
“Breakfast of Champions,” Kurt Vonnegut (PB)
“Salvage the Bones,” Jesmyn Ward (PB)
Nonfiction:
“Star Wars Origami: 36 Amazing Paper-folding Projects from a Galaxy Far, Far Away,” Chris Alexander (PB)
“My Booky Wook: A Memoir of Sex, Drugs, and Stand-up,” Russell Brand (PB)
“Soul Food: The Surprising Story of an American Cuisine,” Adrian Miller (HC)
“Hamilton: The Revolution,” Lin-Manuel Miranda and Jeremy McCarter (HC)
“The Bookseller of Kabul,” Asne Seierstad (PB)
“The Actor’s Book of Movie Monologues,” eds. Marisa Smith and Amy Shewel (PB)
“Who-ology: Doctor Who, The Official Miscellany,” Cavan Scott and Mark Wright (HC)
