Hi, my name is Elana Ruff and I am a junior at Wakefield High School. This is my first year on The Howler staff, and I am very excited to practice and grow my writing skills along with all of the wonderful people who share the same passion. Outside of school and the newspaper, I enjoy reading, drawing, and playing soccer.
