    Finals happening after winter break

    Ventura Unified School District went on its two-week winter break from Dec. 16 to Jan. 2, and students will be taking their finals when they return from break. Kayla Enriquez ‘25 said, “I feel like [finals after the break] is going to be hard because we have such a long break and then going right into finals, we’ll probably forget everything.” Photo by: Ruby Lacques
