Hi, my name is Itzel Cruz Davalos and I’m a senior sports writer for South’s newspaper this year. I’m a part of student council, Spanish club, Student Equity Council, and National Honor Society at Glenbard South. I also enjoy the outdoors, spending time with friends and family, learning new cooking recipes and watching movies.
