About the Contributors
Zander Bauer ’26, Paper Editor
Zander Bauer ’26 is passionate about expressing her thoughts through creative writing, something she hasn’t done in other classes.
“I love writing and I love, specifically, writing about my opinions,” Bauer said.
Her enthusiasm for sharing her views led her to Advanced Journalism, where she is eager to contribute opinion pieces she cares about. This summer she traveled to Georgetown University for a law program where she observed a murder trial.
“I’m really interested in crime. It was super interesting to learn about the law,” Bauer said. “After that, I would definitely consider [being a lawyer]. It was so cool.”
Anna Petrosino ’26, Paper Editor
Paper Editor Anna Petrosino ’26 enjoys playing field hockey and lacrosse and understands the importance of their impact on her life.
“It’s a place where you can go where you don’t have to worry about stress and schoolwork, you’re just with your teammates playing the sport that you love,” Petrosino said.
Petrosino also values how journalism has the power to make an impact, not just at Staples, but in the world.
“I joined Advanced Journalism because I think that it’s important,” Petrosino said. “I wanted to learn more about how the media can really have an impact on the world.”
