About the Contributor

Elia Holland, Staff

Elia is a first year staffer who loves to read and write. This year, she would like to write opinions and work her way up to editing for the McIntosh Trail. Holland would like to try her hand at creating layouts and shooting photos and videos for the Trail. Holland’s writing helped her accomplish the highest ELA state test score on her team. In elementary and middle school Elia was awarded with three reading and/or writing awards. She has a pet chinchilla named Moonpie and likes painting on anything but paper and canvas. She is the second child out of her four siblings and even if Holland won’t admit it, she loves them dearly.
