About the Contributors
Nick DeWald, Writer
Hi! My name is Nick DeWald, this is my first year as part of the Nugget newspaper, and I will be running the Nugget's podcast! Thanks for stopping by.
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.
