About the Contributors
Zach Richards, TTV Anchor
My name is Zach Richards; this is my first year in journalism as a staff member. I am a senior in high school and I’m involved in many activities. I went to Australia my sophomore year and I love to travel. My spirit animal would probably be a sea turtle or manta ray because they get to swim freely in the ocean. I joined journalism to help with Thunder TV because it looked fun. I really look forward to bonding more with the rest of the journalism group, they are a great group of people. I hope we accomplish many things this year but mainly one thing I hope to accomplish is getting different news out to people and having different people get involved with TTV and the PCM Outlook.
Piper Clark, TTV Editor and Anchor
My name is Piper Clark, and this is my second year in journalism. I am a senior in high school, and I participate in the fall play, 4H, key club, student government, speech, NHS, big student little student, choir, and honor choir. I enjoy volunteering, listening to music, and spending time with my friends. I first decided to join journalism because it’s a good opportunity to meet new people. I’m excited to edit TTV and the Outlook this year!
Kadence Kain, Writer
My name is Kadence Kain, and this is my first year of journalism. I’m in 9th grade. I participate in volleyball, taekwondo, the play, and track. I decided to be a part of journalism so I could get to know more of the students at PCM. I like the idea of getting out of my comfort zone and getting to talk to more students and making sure everyone’s voice is heard.
Hello my name is Maci and this is my first year in journalism as a staff member. I’m a freshman and I play volleyball and golf. This is my 3rd year of volleyball and my 1st year of golf. Some hobbies I like to do is hangout with my friends and family, they mean a lot to me. I also like to golf in my free time with my friends and go shopping. One big vacation I would love to go to is Greece. I just think that Greece is really pretty and their cultural food is delicious. The reason why I’m in journalism is because in middle school I just thought the Thunder TV was really unique and cool and I wanted to be in it so I took journalism in high school.
MaKenna VanHaaften, Staff Writer
My name is MaKenna Van Haaften. I chose to be a part of journalism because I wanted to be more involved with my school and community. I like the fact I get out of my comfort zone a lot in this class. This is my first year of doing journalism. Some activities that I do outside of school are mainly play with my puppy and hang out with my family this school year. I am looking forward to how comfortable I can be out and about with “new” people.
