About the Contributors
Kassie Gonzalez
Kassie Gonzalez, Staff
Hi! My name is Kassie Gonzalez, and I’m a junior. I wanted to try Journalism this year as a way to step out of my comfort zone and meet new people. I spend a lot of my free time listening to music or doing something artsy. I like to hang out with my friends, read, watch TV, and spend time with my siblings. I work at The Meadows, and I babysit on occasion.

Hi! My name is Anna Sickels, and I am a senior at West Delaware High School. I am involved in bowling, Journalism, group/individual/all-state speech, soccer, and NHS. When I am not in school, I enjoy reading, baking, being with my family, working at Scooters Coffee, and hanging out with friends. My favorite music artist is Taylor Swift, and my favorite color is blue. I have one cat named Kat.
