Betty Jane Plitt is currently a freshman at McIntosh and serving her first year on the Trail. Plitt often spends her free time reading, doing homework, listening to music or doing taekwondo, in which she has a black belt. Her current favorite book series is A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder, which she highly recommends. Additionally, Plitt’s current favorite artists include Chappell Roan, Sabrina Carpenter, Laufey and the genre of folk music as a whole. 

Plitt also enjoys volunteering at places such as the Midwest Food Bank or Royal Animal Refuge. Although when she gets a chance away from her usual activities, Plitt is also part of colorguard in the McIntosh Marching Band. She specializes in flag currently but hopes to expand her skills to rifle and sabre.

Plitt does not currently hold any achievements at McIntosh High School as she has not attended for very long but she was on honor roll for every grade at J.C. Booth Middle School. Plitt was also part of Beta Club and Thespian Society at J.C. Booth, eager to get involved wherever she can. Now as a member of the Trail, Plitt hopes to expand her knowledge on writing, on-site journaling and meeting deadlines.
