My name is Taylor Kreitzer, and I’m a Senior at GNA High School. I’ve lived in Nanticoke my whole life since head-start. I moved schools at the end of second grade and went to Hanover for two and a half years. I then came back to Nanticoke in fourth grade and have been here ever since. This is my third year in the journalism program, and I am honored to do this elective for my senior year! Some of my hobbies include drawing, painting, boxing, and hanging out with my friends.  Not many people know that I boxed, and I’m very passionate about it. I haven’t always boxed; I started with cheer for a while and continued up until I was twelve. I did boxing for two years, and instead of boxing, I now work harder toward my academics. After high school, I plan to go to LCCC for my first two years. Then Penn-state my other two, to get my bachelor’s degree, to study sociology and criminology. Even though I’m not set in stone for my future career, I just work towards my goal. This is the biggest goal I have set for myself, and I can’t wait to hopefully achieve it!

My name is McKayla Sims, and I’m a sophomore at the Greater Nanticoke Area High School. This is my first year at this school and it’s also my first year in a journalism class. In the past years, I went to Wyoming Valley West. At Valley West, I was part of the chorus classes and the 2026 club. Some of my hobbies include going on walks, watching movies with my little sister, and playing with my cat. I love reading and listening to podcasts and music on my phone – especially crime stories. I also like photography and writing, doing makeup, and living life to the fullest. In the future, I see myself working in a good job and living in a big house with one cat. I see myself as a very successful woman who travels the world. I can’t wait to see where the future takes me.
