Sophomore Kiley Lambeth plays the alto saxophone in the jazz band on Feb. 23 in the cafeteria. The band booster club served chili and hosted a silent auction to raise money for the band. \\"I think the concert went pretty well. Playing in jazz band is always fun, and the chili was good too,\\" Lambeth said. (Caitlyn Massy, Shawnee Mission Northwest High School, 6A, Shawnee, KS, The Northwest Passage)")
Megan Reilly of Shawnee Mission North won KSPA’s February Photo of the Month contest for her beautifully stark and poignant photograph of a Naval Junior ROTC student undergoing inspection. The strong composition, the perfect cropping and the story being told by the photo’s contrast — the statue-still soldier and her animated inspector in the background — captured the attention of judges from the University of Kansas’ William Allen White School of Journalism and Mass Communication.

- Best in Show: Megan Reilly, Shawnee Mission North
