Hi! My name is Victoria, and I’m the co-editor-in-chief of the Bellevue East Tom Tom. I love food and the color purple. In my free time, I like to go running, write, and participate in climate activism. I love writing for the newspaper and being a leader to everyone on staff!

Dark skies. Clouds in front of Bellevue University tell of an oncoming storm. The July 31 storms hit the Omaha area with winds of up to 90 miles per hour, causing $34 million in damage. “I felt very bad for the houses that we saw,” sophomore Elena Ruvalcaba said. “I’m talking like huge trees like the one that was outside of the school before it collapsed, trees like that on top of people’s houses and completely crashed through.”

Storms cause damage, power loss for Bellevue residents

Ollin is the young men’s leadership group with the Latino Center of the Midlands. “While these initiatives are framed as leadership development programs, they extend far beyond that.They function as healing circles, offering a secure space for individuals to express themselves [and] share their experiences,” Ollin facilitator José Avalos said.
