The leaves might not change color in California but you know it’s fall at Harvard-Westlake! Pumpkin pie on the Commons, festive decorations in the cafeteria and the comfort of Uggs as the weather cools are all fall staples at the Middle School. Our goal as the staff of this issue was to make the Spectrum another fall fundamental on campus. Whether you’re looking to relive the highlights of the season – the fall musical Once on this Island and middle school retreats – or you’d like TV show, movie and book recommendations to keep you busy as 2023 comes to a close, this issue has something for you! We hope you enjoy!
