Hello! I'm Maggie, and this year I'm a staffer for BluePrint. Last year I was in the intro to journalism class so you might've seen a few of my stories on BluePrint, but this year I'm thrilled to be an official part of the team! Some of my favorite things include oversized sweaters, coffee ice cream, and rainy weather. I also play the flute and have a passion for writing. If you see me in the hallway and I look annoyed, I promise that's just my resting face and that I'm actually pretty friendly, so don't be afraid to say hi!

Real Raiders wear pink \\ Participating in the Pink Out game against North Garland, Nicole Soto interacts with the crowd as Rowdy the Raider. “I think that people should be more open to the idea of the cheerleaders and the mascot and join in on chants whenever they can, especially the easier ones, because our football players feed off of the crowd’s energy,” Soto said. The Raiders beat North Garland 47-26 Oct. 21.
