Isabella Boedeker, Managing Editor
My name is Isabella Boedeker, I’m a senior at Grosse Pointe North and a third-year writer for North Pointe. This year I’m the managing editor, and I’m working to pursue a more elevated version of our current designs and digital platforms. I can accomplish this by being a helpful mentor and a motivating leader to all my classmates and ensuring I am promoting inclusiveness, creativity and timeliness across our entire publication. Outside of journalism, I am a captain for both the varsity volleyball and softball teams, I’m president of the class of 2025, a CEO of WILLOW, an active member of NHS, KNOTS, Link Crew, and Harbinger Poetry Club, a mentor in the Freshman Assist program, a volunteer softball coach and a local babysitter. Something I hope to take away from North is my leadership and ability to help others, which will transcend into the role of a prosecutor where I plan to help and fairly represent victims.
![CREATIVITY IN CRISIS | The former Creative Writing classroom sits empty since the course is not running during the 2023-2024 school year. English department chair Kristen Alles has empathy for the students who weren’t able to take the class, and wishes for its return future. “Having a class solely dedicated to Creative Writing is fun and I think it really helps foster that for students who really like Creative Writing,” Alles said. “I do feel bad for students who really want that [creative] outlet and art, but hopefully we can see it again maybe next year hopefully it’s not cut for good.”](https://northpointenow.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/unnamed-2.jpg)
