Jayden Francis, Staff Writer

Hi, my name is Jayden Francis, and I’m a sophomore at Foran High School. This is my 1st 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 involved in football, track, and Key Club. In my free time, I enjoy playing sports and hanging out with friends.
