About the Contributors

Ady Klosterman, Photo Assistant

Ady Klosterman is a freshman at Highlands High School. This is her first year of high school journalism, but her fourth year overall. She participated in journalism for two years at Johnson Elementary and again in her 8th grade year at the middle school. Ady used to write a lot of stories when she was younger. She would type them on a computer and print them. Even though they were just around 10 pages long, they were packed with details (and run-on sentences). While she enjoys writing, Ady's true interest is sports photography. She grew up in a household that loves sports, and you can guarantee the TV was turned on on game day. She spends a lot of her spare time at sporting events, most often on the sidelines taking pictures or yelling from the student section, and when she isn't at an event, she's usually catching up on something from the previous one or getting ready for the next one.
