Gianna Bellon, Staff Writer

Hi, my name is Gianna Bellon, and I’m a sophomore at Foran High School. This is my first year taking journalism, and I am a staff writer. I picked journalism because I love writing and learning about the people and places around me. At Foran, I am a member of the cheerleading team. In my free time, I enjoy going to the beach, baking, and hanging out with my friends. Some other things about myself are that I have been dancing for eleven years, my favorite color is navy blue, and I have two dogs.

Gianna Bellon and Mia Cyr | January 28, 2026

Nearly every student goes to class with the same object in their pocket: a cell phone.
