Adelyn Ridley is a sophomore at Gretna East and is going on her second year with the Wingspan Staff, where she serves as a reporter. She has returned to the staff to continue her love of writing stories and taking pictures.

For GEHS, Ridley runs track for the team, as well as competing with the One Act cast. Outside of school, she can be seen hanging out with her friends and teaching young swimmers at Swimtastic.

This year, Ridley hopes to get more involved with the activities around GEHS and learn about the interests of her fellow staff members while continuing to follow her passions and write stories.
