With summer out the door, students are forced to look ahead to the fall season and the festivities it has to offer. Some people enjoy the cooler weather, while others appreciate the fall aroma, and even the obvious fall celebration of Halloween.

Often a day arrives when all students switch to their warmer clothes, awaiting the colder months ahead. After the rain in Fresno, students begin to prepare for the season with fall sports, pumpkin spice lattes and holiday decorations.

The Feather wants to encourage students to submit their opinions about the fall season, whether it be a family memory, seasonal tradition or their favorite aspect of the fall season.
