About the Contributors
Taylor English, Copy Editor
Taylor English is a senior at Pleasant Valley who in addition to having been a diligent student throughout her time at Pleasant Valley, has also been involved in the band as an alto saxophone and spent much of her time rowing for the Y Quad City Rowing Team. Her long-time membership of this championship-winning crew has given her the opportunity to travel around the world for competitions. Similar to her Older Brother Justin who rows at Georgetown, Taylor plans to continue rowing in college as it gives her the chance to “challenge herself and compete”. In her free time, you may catch her painting or getting coffee with friends. Taylor is looking forward to her senior year and the chance to contribute to the running of the online Spartan Shield as a copy editor.
Will Sharis, Photo Manager
One thing that any person could tell you about Will once you meet him is that he rows, a lot. But there is more to William than just his 2k, many awards and endurance. Will has three siblings, two older sisters and one older brother. He's also a genuinely nice guy, almost always laughing or cracking a joke/being sarcastic. He works hard in school, earning great grades and his favorite teacher is one-hundred percent Mr. Meyers. Unfortunately, and hardly known about Will is that he suffers from extreme back pain. It was a hereditary issue that has caused major impacts on his life, having to spend days upon days in the hospital. But he gets through it all with a smile on his face. Or with a deadpan look If he's tired from rowing. When Will gets older he wants to go to a great college and keep doing his sport. All in all, Will is an athletic scholar of a young man that has his fair of hardships, he has an admirable work ethic and a humorous attitude.
