Joe Padula, Staff Writer

My name is Joe Padula, and I am a senior. This is my second year in BluePrint.

I cover a variety of stories for our publication, from news to sports to features, and I have served as the photographer on several photo shoots.

Outside of school, I enjoy playing basketball, and I am a member of the Bellwood-Antis varsity team. I am also a letter-winner on the baseball team.

Through BluePrint, I would like to communicate the day-to-day happenings at our school, and improve as a writer.
