Mya Mandell

Hey! I’m Mya and I’m brand new to Wellington as a freshman and new to the Newspaper team! I’m extremely talkative and friendly, and can’t wait to starting off this year in a great class. So here’s a little bit about myself: I’ve been a cheerleader for eight years and still going, my dream job is to become a veterinarian and go to University of Florida. I’m obsessed with whales, giraffes and cookies! Oh, and I’m a little on the weird side. I can already tell this year is going to be a blast! I can’t wait!

Madison Dalton

My name is Madison Dalton and this is my second year as a member of the newspaper staff. I have always enjoyed writing and am grateful for the opportunities newspaper has offered me, which allow me to expand this skill. Aside from writing, I enjoy drawing, painting, running, and public speaking. I am actively involved in our school’s debate team, cross country team, National Honors Society, and Key Club. My motto for life is to take nothing for granted. Every second is a sacred gift and tasks only become impossible when one becomes weak enough to let society’s fears overcome this world’s love.
