Liz Malenda is a freshman at Watertown High School, and it’s her first year doing publishing. She is involved in extracurricular activities, such as Indoor & Outdoor Track and Field, and Stage Crew for the plays and musicals the school puts on. She plays the flute for the concert band, though she wants to play with the wind ensemble in the future. She was also a part of the Junior National Honors Society back in Swift Middle School, and hopes to be a part of the National Honors Society for her high school years. She likes to write about all the sports in WHS with her recaps, and enjoys writing about the theatre program, like the musicals and plays.
