Madison Smith , Reporter

Hello everyone! My name is Madison and I will be a writer for the Entertainment section this year. When I am not doing work for school or the newspaper, I can be found volunteering at a local hospital, working at AMC or working as the Public Affairs Officer for the truly fantastic Southport Armed Forces Cadets right here at SHS! My favorite pastimes are baking, fishing, crocheting, archery, reading and writing.  I am also not afraid to admit that I am a wholehearted literary nerd! (Or just nerd, if you ask my friends). The adventures I enjoy are of the literary nature, and my world is English. What’s yours?
