Phoebe Schultz, Editor-In-Chief

Phoebe Schultz, a junior on the dance team at West Po, loves reading and spending time with friends. She finds that music wakes her up better than her daily Celsius, and she’ll listen to any Fleetwood Mac, Taylor Swift, or Tame Impala song on repeat. She looks forward to journalism every Silver Day and writes for the newspaper because she feels that it is a great way to be involved in the school community. Phoebe shows her creative side in journalism through posting on the social media accounts (@thewpwire) and working on the layout for quarterly newspapers.
