Hello, my name is Ellie Kleffner. I am a freshman this year at Holt and I love it here so much! I enjoy seeing people smile everyday as I walk through the hallways of the school. I enjoy writing stories about many ideas that come into mind, this year I decided to take a class on journalism to express my ideas through writing and to learn about why writing is important. Besides writing, I like art which means drawing different sketches in books, listening to music, and reading. I’m involved in clubs such as Reading club, Art club, Associate Student Council, and DECA. I hope to become a better writer as a freshman so that I can express more ideas and to make successful stories that will catch everybody’s attention.
