Kaylie Donahue, Magazine Chief

With a love for design and anything involving the arts, Kaylie is prepared for her second year on The Lancer Spirit as the Magazine chief. When she’s not working on making the school’s magazine beautiful, she will commonly be found at home helping her parents around the house and babysitting her younger siblings. Other than helping around the house, Kaylie enjoys crafting and exercising as common past-times; making something from her own hand from start to finish is what she prides herself on.

Lancer Spirit Editorial Board | September 17, 2021

Whether masked or not, we must all still be responsible and try to protect other's health.
