About the Contributors
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.
Ella Greaves, Staff Writer
My name is Ella Greaves, and this is my first year in journalism. I’m a freshman at PCM High School, and my activities include basketball, softball, and Key Club. I’m extremely excited to be in journalism, and I look forward to learning and growing as a writer, along with getting out of my comfort zone and developing not just as a writer but also as a person.
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.
