My name is Samantha Shaffer, and I am a 9th-grade student at Don Soffer Aventura High School, Class of 2028. I contribute to the monthly section of The Barracuda Bulletin as a writer. I have a strong passion for art and creativity, and I enjoy participating in projects that allow me to express original ideas and imaginative thinking. Being a part of the newspaper gives me a meaningful platform to share my voice and contribute to the school community through creative expression.
