Hi! My name is  Olivia VanDeCar and this is my third year on the Bulldog Barker Journalism Club! I am a writer and a website editor. In my free time I enjoy playing soccer for the middle school team. I also play volleyball and run track. My favorite subject in school is math and my favorite colors are teal and coral. My favorite hobby is playing soccer as well as playing with my dog.
