Hey! My name is Andie Kephart, and I'm an eighth grader and reporter for Livewire. I really enjoy writing, reporting and photography. I'm very excited to be a part of the Livewire staff. Outside of school, I enjoy doing competitive weightlifting, painting and spending time with my friends. I have been lifting for 3 years now and have competed in many national competitions  all across  the U.S. 

My favorite quote that I hear coaches and teachers say is, “Give 110% in all that you do.”

I try to apply this to my life in the things that I do. My future plans are to go to Penn State University and become a physical therapist.

Strike! A new bowling club has been presented to our school, and students are encouraged to join! The director and math teacher, Christopher Strawmier is excited to teach kids how to excel in bowling. Strawmier said, “I love the sport of bowling and have done it for 50 years. Since I am a teacher and have a ton of bowling experience, I thought, Why not start a Bowling Club?”

Employees take customers by number and help pick out your baked goods. They usually have no down time due to how busy and popular the bakery is.
