Claire DeSorgher: Raider Reporter is back for a third year of writing for our SACS daily announcements and our growing team is SO excited! We have two new members: Lilly Dashnaw (7th grade) and Ember Shaffer (6th grade). And three members coming back to write for a second year: Gretchen Chomyn (8th grade), Lucy McElwain (7th grade), and Zoe Daigle (6th grade). We are looking forward to writing about fall sports like soccer and cross country and also concerts, dances and other events happening around the school. If you or your class do anything fun that you would like to highlight in the daily announcements feel free to share it with us via email* and we can type up an article (maybe even interview you and others!) about it. We are all ready to get this year of writing started and we’ll see you in the announcements!
Thank you and please read below for Raider Reporter introductions,
