I am vice president for the school’s marching band, mellophone section leader, and part of the Starr’s Mill Thespian Society. I love to write and listen to heavy metal. When I am not busy, I enjoy re-watching “The Nightmare Before Christmas.”

This is senior Madeline Therriault’s second year in journalism.
