About the Contributors
Shae Simmons, Multimedia Editor
Shae Simmons is a senior at Normal Community High School and a fourth-year member of the varsity Iron Dance team. This is her second year working with the Inkspot, and she is the Multimedia editor. On the weekends I like to watch movies and hang out with friends. A slogan to live by is live for the moments you can’t put into words. My all-time dream is to travel around the world.
Evie Snoeyink, Editor in Chief
Evie Snoeyink is a senior at Normal Community High School and is involved in Student Council. This is her third year working with the Inkspot, and she is the Editor-in-Chief. On the weekends I enjoy hanging out with friends and watching movies. I am interested in learning about different cultures and beliefs. In my free time, I enjoy reading books.
Reid Watkins, Sports Editor
Reid Watkins is a senior at Normal Community High School and a member of the football program. In his first year with the Inkspot, Reid was promoted to Sports Editor. Reid commentates girls basketball, baseball and volleyball games that the Inkspot live streams on YouTube.
My favorite film is simultaneously Forrest Gump, Pitch Perfect and Anchorman 2. The best advice I could give to underclassmen is to respect all of your teachers.
