Hi! I’m Jubilee and I am Editor in Chief. Aside from looking over our news and working with my classmates, you won’t just find me working. I love listening to music, especially certain bands like Linkin park, Limp Bizkit, and Green day. In my down time you might catch me watching my favorite shows like Impractical Jokers or rewatching my favorite movies like The Sixth Sense. I love my position here in the community of journalism… almost as much as I love nagging to Ms. Otero and bothering Mr. Kilbourne. Thank you for taking your time to read about me. I hope you find this year’s newspaper interesting and continue to support our hardwork.
Much love, Jubilee
