Hi, I’m Emme Borrelli, and I am the Managing Editor for the Bulldog Barker. I am in eighth grade, and I have been a writer for four years. Some of my hobbies include swimming, reading, spending time outdoors, and playing sports with my friends.

I’m looking forward to being on the Bulldog Barker staff again this year. I’m also excited to see what this new year and new list opportunities bring our staff. Some of my after-school activities include band, softball, volleyball, and soccer. Some clubs I participate in are Pep Club, Bulldog Barker, and NJHS.  When I grow up, I want to be either a cosmetologist or a police officer, which I know are opposite directions, but I find both occupations intriguing. A fun fact about me is that I serve at the children’s ministry at my church on Sundays, I have my own nail “business” where I make custom sets for other people, and I do my own nails.

Do you love to tie-dye? Freedom Middle School is tie-dying house shirts. Mrs. Sara Miller and Miss Sara Heiman are in charge of it, along with the rest of the PAWS Core Team teachers. Miss Heiman said, “We wanted every kid in the school to be able to show their house colors, and so we thought a fun way to do that is to tie-dye in the different house colors. We thought as middle schoolers that everybody could handle that and it actually went really well. I think there weren't many major accidents, so it was a success. We were going for a tie-dye theme. We went with red tie-dye before and were continuing with the different house colors.” Last year the fifth graders rubber banded their shirts and the fourth grade teachers tie-dyed it. When fifth graders Klaire Evans and Juliet Pivik were asked what they liked about this year's tie-dye compared to last year's tie-dye, this is what they said. “You have a lot more freedom of what you get to do like patterns and sometimes colors. It’s a lot more hands on. So it makes it more fun.” Klaire Evans said. “You actually get to tie-dye the shirts, but last year all you got to do was rubber band it.” Juliet Pivik said.
