Miranda Lyons –– Cartoonist
Hello there. I am fifteen years old and I am a sophomore. This is my first year in the newspaper and I will be the cartoonist, but I will also be doing some online articles. Since homework itself is very overwhelming, I currently am in no after school activities, but that will probably change very soon. I am a very spazzy, artistic (obviously), and animated person. I am obsessed with squirrels as they are my spirit animal (just kidding of course, but still, I think they’re awesome). I am happily dating to a wonderful guy and I plan to go into foreign language, psychiatry, art, and/or genetics.
