About the Contributors
Ava Amato, Copy Editor
Junior Ava Amato is co-lead copy editor and starting her third year on the Tom-Tom staff. Ava is ecstatic to be one grade closer to graduating and is looking forward to leaving LHS (although she swears she loves school). There are parts Ava loves about high school, like being a part of the wrestling team and track and field team. Outside of school, Ava loves to drive around her friends, binge-watch cheesy shows like “Love Island USA” and read murder mystery books that concern her family. Ava is ready for a school year full of laughter, friends and an absence record that hopefully doesn’t exceed the twenties.
Lucia Macari, Copy Editor
Lucia Macari is a senior at LHS and is entering her second year on the Tom-Tom staff as a co-lead copy editor. Her friends and family would describe her as a hard worker and most would call her a perfectionist. Lucia likes to keep herself busy, as a member of the varsity Dance Team, Golden Cheer & Dance Team, NHS, NEHS, Mu Alpha Theta and on the board of Rho Kappa. If she’s not at practice or a meeting, she can be found spending time with friends and family or working at her family’s restaurant, Digs on Canal. Lucia takes pride in her academics and hopes to earn an undergraduate in Political Science and attend law school.
Leila Rexhepi, Coeditor-in-Chief
Leila Rexhepi, 17, is a third-year Tom-Tom member and is ready to wrap up her senior year. With big goals of playing in the LPGA, she has been working tirelessly this summer to make her dream come true. While many people think she works at Cog Hill & Country Club, she is actually holding it together while doing infuriating putting drills. All this work has paid off though with winning a tournament with a score of 79 and earning Junior PGA Player of the Year. Although she may be aiming for the lowest scores on the golf course, she is not aiming for low goals and grades. She has earned student of the month, won IHSA sectionals for Photo Storytelling, first place for her ceramics piece in the LHS winter exhibit and secured qualifying scores for her AP classes. Currently, she is taking two dual-credit classes this year and is exploring her interests with Sports & Entertainment Marketing, Ceramics and ASL II.
Maggie Sinnett, Staff Writer
Maggie Sinnett is a sophomore at LHS and is ecstatic to start her first year on the Tom-Tom Staff! In addition to Journalism, Maggie participates in Leo Club, HOSA, Junior Achievement and is the sophomore Student Class vice president. Maggie’s family describes her as a “quiet leader,” who is thoughtful and driven by success. Aside from school, Maggie enjoys running and going to the mall with friends. You can often catch her hanging out with her family and puppy, Finley. She is also a brand ambassador for various skin care companies who helps elevate brand awareness. One day, Maggie is hopeful that she will be running a successful business of her own.
