Science teacher Kjirsten Walt says, “With [COVID-19], I bring my water bottle so that I can stay localized to this side of the building as much as possible, and I am always trying to increase my water intake day to day. I recently got a Hydro Flask water bottle – the largest kind – and I really like the boot it has on it, so that it doesn’t clang against the table when you set it down. With Covid in mind, my favorite water bottle is actually called Owala, because it has a straw top that is also covered, so you never have to touch the straw.
Bella Suk ‘22 shares, “I usually bring my Nalgene water bottle to school. I also have a smaller one, two large ones with wide mouths, and a large one with a smaller mouth. I prefer the large water bottle – it is probably 24 ounces – with the smaller mouth because I get thirsty and I find it easier to drink out of. I love my Nalgene water bottles. I bring water bottles to school because the drinking fountains are closed because of [COVID-19] and it’s nice to have it readily available throughout the day.”
Evan Rechelbacher ‘21 explains, “I bring a water bottle to school because we are in hybrid. The water fountains are closed so bringing a water bottle is the only way to get water during the day. I usually bring my black Kleen Kanteen water bottle, but today I brought my Takeya. I like it to keep with me throughout the day so I don’t have to go to the lunch room to fill it up or anything like that.”

Hi! I'm Catherine and I am a Senior. I have been a staff writer for two years, edited the Sports and Food Features pages last year and now I edit the Sci-Tech page. Outside of Spectrum, you can find me on the tennis court or on the lacrosse field! My favorite part about Spectrum is the process of fine-tuning your page, because it's so fun to see both your own page and the final paper come to fruition.

Hey there, I'm Betsy. My pronouns are she/her. My toxic personality trait is that I like my iced coffee more than I like my friends. Sorry not sorry. I'm a Senior, and I am currently a Contributing Writer. My freshman year I started as a staff photographer and I wrote a couple articles. I loved seeing the end result of the final paper and wanted to contribute more to the process. Sophomore year I edited Features and was the Photography Editor. Last year I was the Creative Director and Photography Editor. I also edited Food Features for a short amount of time. Last semester I was the Creative Director. I like to take photos and stuff...
