In a recent photo competition, run by George Mason University’s Virginia Climate Center, junior Madelyn Jones earned 1st place. She is an RCHS Photography II student and she enjoys taking pictures of landscapes. 

The goal of the competition was to educate Virginia residents and bring awareness to Virginia’s battle against climate change. The competition was open to Virginia high schoolers and college students, making it even harder to win. 

 Jones submitted a picture of the Rockbridge Baths solar panels that have been built recently to help the climate. With her creativity, striving to promote awareness of climate change, and photography abilities, she won the contest. 

She will be featured on a Washington D.C. news station, WUSA9 News, and her creativity will be shown off to viewers.

Grace Fleshman is a junior and a second-year reporter on this year’s Prowler staff. After learning a lot last year about journalism, she decided to become the news editor. She is ready and excited for this new role. This year she wants to focus on meeting new people, especially freshmen, and expanding her knowledge of newsworthy events at RCHS. In her free time, Fleshman enjoys dancing at the Rockbridge Ballet and hanging out with friends. She is a reporter on the Executive Council SCA, and enjoys attending meetings and planning events to boost school spirit. You can usually find Fleshman listening to music, particularly Taylor Swift, watching a TV show or movie for the 50th time, dancing whenever she is bored, or eating snacks. Fleshman looks forward to continuing writing for the Prowler for her last two high school years and to do well in her other studies through college.
