Hello! My name is Isabella Magato and I am a freshman at SHS. I signed up for journalism because I like creative writing and I like sharing it with others. I am a cartoonist for The Leaf. I love doing art so in my free time I am sketching, drawing, painting, or crafting. Over the summer my mom and I ran a children’s painting class every Wednesday. We taught them how to turn a blank canvas into whatever they were trying to create. I have two dogs that I love very much and spend too much time taking care of. I like to watch movies and read as well. Creative writing and writing in general are also things that I like to spend my time on.  After school, I like to do swim team and hang out with friends. Thanks for reading!

BRAVERY. Nancy Wake displayed bravery and courage in WW2 when she served as a secret agent. She smuggled goods and refugees to safety out of the good of her heart. She is truly a wonderful woman and a great role model of character.

WOW. Moros intrepidus was found in eastern Utah and believed to be an ancestor of the T-rex. It was fast, lightweight, but also a ruthless carnivore. “When and how quickly tyrannosaurs went from wallflower to prom king has been vexing paleontologists for a long time,” said discoverer Lindsay Zanno.

WOW. A woman has tattoos on her arm. Many people still have issues with the idea of minors having tattoos before they are the age of eighteen. “I think minors should be able to choose if they want a tattoo or not,” said Anusha Gambheera, 9.
