Hey! My name is Amy Dean, and I’m a reporter for the AAHS Mountain Echo newspaper. I am also a part of yearbook. This will be my second year, and I’m excited for this school year's upcoming stories! I’m an avid writer, reader and athlete. My favorite sport to play is volleyball, and I play for the school.  I love taking pictures at different sporting events and club events. A fun fact about me is that I know sign language; I’m very fluent in it.

What’s the difference between unintentional and intentional cheese? “In the first picture of the black in white photo this is called intentional cheese. He was posing with his cat, and I thought that was funny. To me that is intentional cheese. He had won the contest six years ago. In the second photo it’s called unintentional cheese. While he may just be posing we thought that the lighting and setting was good so he had won in 2007,” Fox said.

Who will win the cheese?

Another dog I have is an English Bulldog named Oliver. There wasn't a meaning behind his name, but he is still a unique dog. He likes being with people if he knows them or not. He is two-years-old, we got him because we wanted a dog for Mr. Magoo to play with. One fun fact about Oliver is that he likes to play with my chickens and chase them around.
