OPHELIA RICHARDS & KAYA CARAVALHO she/her
Ophelia and Kaya are the organizational masterminds behind the Journal. Between getting PTSA funding, designing the website, supporting writing and editing processes, and bringing the weekly snacks, they really do it all. For Ophelia, starting back up the newspaper was one of her main goals for high school, and partnering with Kaya for the website and layout makeup has made that dream possible. Since kindergarten these two have been an unstoppable duo even through the struggles of building the newspaper from the ground up.
