Luke Converse wasn’t a typical kid, according to his mother Kim Lerma.
When the recent Edison graduate was too young to play, he went to his older brother Jake Converse’s Catholic Youth Organization games and didn’t act like his peers. His attention was directed at the playing field.
“Luke would sit and watch,” said Lerma, who is the girls’ athletic coordinator at Whittier Middle School. “He wasn’t playing around the playground, like the other kids. So, when he started playing, he didn’t have to learn too much.”

Rahele Megosha, a senior at Washington High School, won $20,000 Thursday night in the national Poetry Out Loud competition. I m still in shock; it hasn t really hit me yet, Megosha told the Argus Leader on Friday morning. I wasn t expecting to win $20,000.
Megosha was the best of nine student finalists from across the nation. She is also the first student poet from South Dakota to ever win the competition. This has been such a crazy opportunity, she said. I didn t expect any of this to happen. I had a week to prepare for (the preliminary competition), and everything has been such a journey ever since.

Norman Public Schools will end its mask mandate late Thursday afternoon, making masking optional, though âstrongly recommended,â at high school graduations, summer school and, for now, the fall semester.
NPSâ Board of Education voted 4-1 Monday to move to optional but recommended masking for students, teachers and staff at the end of this week.
The districtâs mask mandate, in place since the start of the school year, ends as school lets out for the summer Thursday, in time for Norman Highâs 7 p.m. Thursday commencement and Norman Northâs 7 p.m. Friday ceremony.
