Grace Rau, Editor-in-Chief

Hi, I’m Grace Rau! I’m a writer for the Northwest Passage — it’s my second year on staff. I love to write and draw, and have competed in Editorial Cartooning competitions at national conventions. This year I want to learn more design and make illustrations for the paper! Outside of newspaper, I take IB classes and like to read for fun. I’m so excited to see what we do as a staff this year!

Finding inspiration, junior Addy Baker writes down lyrics Oct. 25 in her room. Baker writes in her room for privacy. “My room is a safe place for me,” Baker said. “It’s where I can be vulnerable and I feel like the environment helps me be a more creative writer.”
