I am a Senior here at Mount Greylock, and I have been a member of the Echo for five years. Along with being a journalist, I love playing soccer, reading Jane Austen and trashy murder mysteries, and seeing how fast I can complete the New York Times mini crossword puzzle.
I joined the Echo because I love being part of a newspaper, and it’s why I still do it for that reason. I also do Shakespeare and enjoy getting coffee with friends, music, and baking.
Krishiv is a 10th grader at Greylock, and this year will be his fourth year on the Echo. He loves interviewing people and writing informative pieces. Outside of school, Krishiv swims for a private club and plays the cello. He is also a part of many other clubs, like Student Council and the robotics team. If you find him in the hall, he is always open to talk!
Knowl joined the Echo four years ago to meet other student writers and now enjoys reporting on the people and experiences that make MG amazing. Outside the Echo, he plays sports, hikes, and spends time with his cats.
Quin joined the Echo to gain more experience in a new type of writing. In her spare time, she can be found writing or performing in plays, playing the trumpet, and breathing.
After reading a great issue of the Eggplant, Charlotte began her interest in the paper. She now hopes to improve and hone her editing skills.
Lucy loves to play soccer and run track. She also enjoys reading and writing.
Molly is a senior who has been on the Echo for four years. She plays soccer and basketball and enjoys writing long features for the Echo. In her free time, she can be found reading any interesting book, binging Parks and Rec, or watching the same 4 movies on repeat - Pitch Perfect, Cool Runnings, Good Will Hunting, and Reputation Stadium Tour.
Andrew joined the Echo to realize his interest for reporting on interesting school events and topics. He runs Cross-Country and Track and always stays up-to-date on the latest sports-related news.
Kiersten Simpson is a senior. When not writing for the Echo, Simpson can be found onstage or derailing JCL meetings. Simpson has never been stung by a bee, but they are still seeking vengeance on a wasp that stung them. If anyone knows the whereabouts of a wasp that claims to have been on Pontoosuc Lake on May 27th, 2020, please alert Kiersten so justice may finally be properly served.
"I exist. That's about it."
Drew plays football, golf, and tennis. He also enjoys music and moved to Massachusetts two years ago.
Sylvie joined the Echo in 7th grade due to her interest in journalism. She loves reading and has been doing book reviews for the Echo for years. She is also a part of theater at the school.
