Issue #5: March
Happy Spring, Comp Sci High, and welcome to the newest issue of The Python Post. Here, we are celebrating, critiquing, and thinking about so much — from the resilience of mothers to the power of relationships to the difficulty of navigating social media to the beauty of Ramadan to the variety of food in the Bronx. Just like a spring garden, this issue is a bountiful testament to all the ways we show up as people. Happy Spring, and happy reading.
