My name is Noah Molenda, and I am a junior here at Merrillville High School. This is my 2nd year writing for the newspaper. I’m very excited to see what this year holds for me. I also play Tennis, and in my free time I enjoy hanging out with my friends, listening to music, and playing video games. I have two dogs, a two year old named Kobe, and a 12 year old named Bella. I hope you enjoy reading my stories!
