Otis is the name, Scrabble™, sports, and math are included in my plethora of hobbies. I’m one of Newscool Chronicle’s very own editors. In addition, I write Word of the Week. I am very opinionated when it comes to the best number, the holy number, the greatest prime, and finally, the most RANDOM number: 37, 37, 37, 37, 37, 37, 37, 37, 37, 37, 37, 37, 37, 37, 37… 37

Sava Wallaert wants you to read his bio under the afternoon sun, bathed in its warm hazy light, while the slender aspen trees on the hill behind you quiver in the wind from the ocean. He wants you to truly THINK about what you read in this paper, in the truest and deepest meaning of the word, and see it not just as a fun school project, but as a scarce and quickly disappearing resource. In a world beginning to be dominated by Artificial Intelligence and the minds of adults who cannot think about anything outside of what TV show is new on Netflix, the words of kids are beginning to become lost in the breakneck pace of modern life. Sava, a longtime fan of the newspaper, is looking forward to helping shine light on the unseen creativity of young people by writing short stories, media reviews, and poems, and editing the work of other bright minds.

Simone Miller is an awesome 8th grader at New School. She is an avid reader and spends time doing sports, music, and hanging out with friends and family. Simone looks forward to writing about school and local news, other stuff, and collaborating with the other wonderful members of the newspaper.

Syah is an 8th grader who writes comics for the paper. Her current project is a graphic novel that will release 1-2 pages every printing. It’s important to note that Syah is better than Otis. Syah is also more trustworthy than Otis (never trust him). Syah is pleased to be on the NCC staff. 

Ellie is a super awesome child that loves (alive) chickens. She writes the Teacher Gossip column and the Most Valuable Woman column (MVW). She loves interviewing people and working with her friends on the NewsCool Chronicle. One of her special talents is photoshopping people into celebrities, playing video games, and playing sports. HAVE A NICE REST OF YOUR DAY! 

Felix Papanikolas is an eighth grade student working for the NewsCool Chronicle. As everyone knows, he will be leaving school next year and he wants to make this year the best, hoping to carry on the legacy of the newspaper. Felix wants to encourage the next gen of 7th and 8th graders to join the newspaper elective as all of our current staff will be leaving the school next year. Felix will be doing a number of things this year, including phobias of the week, animations, comics, and the baking corner. He enjoys playing basketball and drawing. Shout out to Syah, Nur, Nofa, Winston, Milly, Quyen, Liam, Ellie, Simone, Sava, Otis, Ms. Belkora, and Ms. Dubasik!
