Elizabeth Sinclair is a South Windsor High school freshman who is energetic, caring, and compassionate. This year is Elizabeth’s first year at SWHS. In the past, she loved to write interesting articles and essays about topics going on in the real world and about her fellow students. She is a soccer player, a dancer, and a Girl Scout. While attending TEMS last year, Sinclair took a creative writing class with her English teacher which got her into the idea of being a reporter or a professional writer.  This year, Sinclair expects to learn about writing technique and the different ways of writing.
