The Roar
Daniella Fassman

Daniella Fassman, Staff Writer

Hey there! I’m a junior and this is my first year on the “Roar”! I enjoy writing anything from news to poetry, and recently started exploring new art mediums in my free time. I am also part of the girls cross country team, a proud member of FRC Team Voltage 386, and love attending First Priority and Bible study with my friends.

Freshman Izabelle Davis assembles her new ID and lanyard on Aug. 29. “If you forget it, no big deal,” Principal Burt Clark said. “It happens every now and then, but it doesn’t happen often. The only problem that I see is someone that is habitually not following the procedure. That is going to be an issue, and they’re going to come meet with me.”
