Sophia Miller is looking forward to another year working on the Lion’s Tale as sports editor after previously being assistant sports editor. In addition to managing her section, she spends her time playing on the CESJDS Varsity Basketball, Softball, Track, and Cross Cross Country teams. She also enjoys participating in the debate club, JSA, and writing for the Hebrew literary magazine. She is excited for the year to come and to show the JDS community different aspects of athletics and other issues in the school.

Jamie Raskin has a very unique perspective, he is Jewish and represents Maryland, which is a very interesting and diverse state, and speaking here at JDS he gets to apply his Jewish view of things to how he views the world, which he might not be able to do in his daily life in Congress. In terms of student activism i think it is incredibly important for people to show up and talk at schools because it shows their support for the people who will eventually become them. - Sophomore Jonathan Morris
