About the Contributors

Cristiana Collins, Co-editor in chief

Hey guys, I am Cristiana Collins and I am currently in 12th grade. This is my fourth year on staff and I couldn’t be more excited. Video class is definitely my favorite because I love spending time with my friends. If you can’t find me in video class you can find me in Wyoming with my Jackson friends and with the horses or the Mira Vista pool saving lives. I am the best editor on staff and cannot wait to make my first video. [email protected]

Caroline King, Co-editor in chief

Hey guys! I’m Caroline King and this is my fourth year on the video staff. I am co-editor in chief. My favorite things to do are hang out with my friends, play field hockey, and do outdoor things. I enjoy going to dinner and going to the movies with my friends. I am dating a big football player named Ian Bothwell who is going to be a D1 football player. He is a very big guy. I am a field hockey commit and I am going to Davidson University to play field hockey. I’m very ready to start making amazing videos. Have a great day! [email protected]

Reese Packer, Video Reporter

Hello everyone, my name is Reese, but I prefer to be called by Reesie. This is my fourth year in video class and boy do I love it. In my free time, I love to do gymnastics with my younger sister Finley and hang out with my soon-to-be-husband, Connor Davidson, (he’s also QB 1 so it’s a slight flex for me). I’m a senior and my dream is to go to Georgia, so everyone please begin praying at night that I go. Thanks for peeking into my life. Contact me any questions about Track, Connor Davidson, or a fun fact about me. [email protected]

Sloan Howard, Video Reporter

Hey babies. My name is Sloan Howard or you can call me Betsy/ Mrs. Mainord. This is my third year on staff (although I was on the GroupMe freshman year). I am a senior and man, I love it. I play volleyball so please ask me about it. In my free time I hang out with Jacob Mainord. He is the best football player ever and is probably going D1. I play volleyball and soccer. I have never been more excited to make videos. I’m itching to start. If you see me in the hall, ask me to tell you a fun fact. See you on the flip. [email protected]
