Hey! My name is Alonna Pfahler. I am an eighth grade reporter here for Livewire. I look forward to working with the news writing staff this year and gaining experience. Outside of school, I like playing softball, reading, listening to music and sleeping. I love writing mostly poetry but also other forms. I also really enjoy taking photos. I joined the news writing staff because I love writing and taking photos.
