About the Contributors
Kai Alesio, Student Life Editor
Kai Alesio is a junior at Green Hope, and this is her first year on the GH Falcon as the new student life editor. She decided to pursue journalism after being introduced to the class, Leadership in Media, by friends. She realized that joining the staff would help her learn more about her peers at Green Hope, as well as help her become more established in its community. Kai is interested in all aspects of the GH Falcon, but has a specific curiosity in student life, where she can share the stories and accomplishments of her peers. Outside of school, Kai participates in school volleyball, as well as school and club softball. Additionally, she can be found reading, painting or making jewelry. She hopes to pursue softball in college alongside a degree in life sciences.
