Hey, I’m Kristen! I’m a junior and this is my first year on the Roar staff. In my free time, I love to play tennis and write, and this year, I’m looking forward to meeting new people.
![Junior Peyton Sheehan pets a mule at the petting zoo. “[My friend] Peyton and I sprinted ahead so we would be the first people to get into the petting zoo,” junior Nikhil Patel said. “They told us not to run but we just had to get to the animals. I loved holding the fluffy chicken, it was my favorite part. Peyton got to dress up the mule which was also really cool. They should bring the petting zoo back every semester, scratch that, every quarter.”](https://westshoreroar.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/IMG_1662-1200x800.jpg)

I succeeded in spirit. And that’s what counts.”](https://westshoreroar.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/IMG_1624-1200x800.jpg)
![Science teacher Jeffrey Kelly gets dunked by a student. “It was a pretty fun experience,” Kelly said. “I was so scared I wasn’t going to be dunked and stay completely dry when I was getting so hot. I was hoping someone would have sympathy and finally be able to dunk me. I’m glad I was able to get in [the water] after heckling these kids because they definitely needed it.”](https://westshoreroar.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/IMG_1280-1200x800.jpg)
