Bailey is a sophomore and is thrilled to begin her first year in newspaper. Her passion to be involved led her to join the staff, and she is so excited for this upcoming year. Other than keeping up with school work and her position on the SJHHS Girls Golf team, she enjoys drawing, writing poetry, and playing guitar. This year she plans on contributing her photography and artistic skills into the SJHHS newspaper.
