This student-produced publication can be found in The Marlow Review each week during the regular school year, with the exception of just a few weeks (holidays, breaks and the start/end of each school year).

The program is directed by MHS teacher Haley Wilson and is an award-winning product. The staff of the 2022-23 year returned from Spring Media Monday, with six State Championship awards. We will share a short story each week for six weeks, featuring this year's staff members, beginning with senior Kaylee Davis.

Kaylee is the daughter of Christy and Chad Davis. She has five siblings: Cheyenne Davis, Kyle Davis, Cody Davis, Caleb Davis, Kora Davis. "My dad has a cow/calf operation that he runs himself and my mom works at Rural Water District #5."

Years on staff: 3rd year.

Extracurricular Activities: MOST/drama, YAHL, FCCLA, Yearbook, Library Club, Media Production, and Oklahoma Honor Society.

What prompted you to join the journalism staff?

"I initially decided to join journalism because I liked to write and thought it would be fun (and fancy) to be able to write for a newspaper."

What has been your favorite experience or assignment?

"My favorite articles would probably be my Christmas parade story and my winter safety. I really like writing the student of the week personality profiles because I feel like I can get to know a student so well in just a small conversation.

What do you hope to gain from being in this class?

"So far, this class has helped me get better at time management, leadership, and working with other people. This year, I hope that I can put myself out there and get more creative with my stories."

Who has been a role model for you? Why?

"My older sister Cheyenne has been a very big role model for me. She worked her way toward everything she wanted and has always been a very reliable and caring person.
