Sidney Patterson, Editor in Chief

Hey! My name is Sidney Patterson. This is my senior year at Bellwood-Antis and my third year as a  writer for the BluePrint. Although I have only been in the class as of my junior year, I contributed stories and pictures frequently my sophomore year. I am now the Editor in Chief.  Outside of BluePrint my activities include Leo Club, FCA, Key Club, cheer leading, track, Blue Devil Nation, NHS, and drama. I have hopes that my contributions from this year will help earn our team more recognition as a website and online newspaper.
