My name is Sophie, and this is my second year on staff. I’m looking forward to being chief of entertainment this year and being able to focus more on design. I’ll be diving this year as well as running track, which will be two newer sports for me. Newspaper has definitely become a favorite class of mine, and I’m considering minoring in journalism in college!
