Hi! I'm Sky Lee!! This is my freshman year and my first year of journalism. I'm excited to break out of my comfort zone by being a fantastic journalist!!! In my free time, I like to skateboard, write short stories, and read fantasy books. The Percy Jackson series is what got me into reading! I have seven cats, two of whom I love much more than the others. I plan to stay with The Nugget throughout my high-school career because I like writing and want to help keep Helena High's tradition of student journalism going.
