Hello! My name is Kyla! I am a freshman at Battle Mountain High School and currently, I am participating in a club called Spilled Ink. In Spilled Ink, we get to draw, write and do some photography. We draw many things and right now we are working on Thanksgiving themes. We are also writing poems about certain subjects. Last week, we wrote poems about vampires. One of my favourite things we do is photography and I love submitting pictures of fall! Those are some of my favourite things to do.
