Andrea Aguirre6th grade/Mr.Bolin

My name is Andrea Aguirre. My family includes my dad, mom, sister, grandma, grandpa, uncle, and my two dogs argos and tobi. My favorite foods are sushi and burgers. My favorite color is blue. Some things that I like to do are playing soccer, reading,listening to music, playing with my dogs,and going outside to walk my dogs. I really like to write stories alot. I also like drawing weird things. I like to think about what I am going to write. I like to play Pokemon Go. I like to play with my german shepherd puppy who is named Argos and my other dog who is named Tobi.

I wanted to join Panther Press because I like to write about things. I like to write stories and want to write about what is happening around the world. And I want to get to know everyone in Panther press. I wanted to join a club for I can have some fun doing things like I wanted to write. I also wanted to really join Panther Press because when I heard on the announcements that there were forms I decided to get one and so I turned it in and was happy to be on the Panther Press Staff. So that is why I wanted to join Panther Press.

Bella Butler 6th grade / Mr.Falk

I am Isabella Victoria Butler. I like making music, creating works of art, playing soccer, and practicing karate. I love singing and dancing to my favorite music. Some songs I really like are “Burn the house down” By:AJR, “Sober Up” By:AJR, and “Drama” By:AJR. As you can see I really really really like AJR. I also like working on sketching, animation, illustrating, and drawing. I really like working on all kinds of different art projects all at n once. I would work on surrealism painting and pppppppp an animation on realism at the same time. I am also in a soccer team currently and we haven’t lost a game ever. Ppppppp Our team name is “Titans” and it was a team pick. So, that’s all about me. Now, you can read all about why I wanted to join Panther Press and become a member of the school newspaper.

---------------------------------------->

I wanted to join Panther Press for a plethora of many different reasons. I really like writing, editing, and detailing in any form of writing I make. I love making my own writing, super detailed and super long. I kind of get annoyed whenever someone doesn’t try or give any kind of work or time into what they made. It’s like when some people just pile garbage and dust on or under a rug. The rug is a metaphor for their ppppppppp paper and the garbage is ppppppppp their “writing form”. So, ppppppppp now go on to everyone ppppppppp else’s and read about ppppppppp how they joined and all ppppppppp about them.
