Grace Palmer, Editor-in-Chief, Print

My name is Grace. I’m a 12th grader and the Print Editor-in-Chief here at The Southerner. I’m a pretty busy kid and it seems like it’s been so long since I had free time that I kind of forget what I like to do – pretty sure I like reading about history and going to museums.

One perk of the new Mov bands for gym is finishing work for two classes at the same time. "I've gotten about 3,000 steps since being in the media center," said Senior Meg Ruddy. She read Ishmael for English and shook her Mov band to track steps for gym at the same time during her open fifth hour. The Mov bands are a new part of the online gym curriculum and are being introduced as an alternative to work out journals. It requires 13,000 steps a day for credit
