Paige Polifka-Denson is a senior this year. Her goals include laughing so much that she has an eight-pack and befriending anyone that makes her smile (even a little bit). During her free time, she can be found thrifting clothes she doesn’t need, jumping for literally no reason or whipping around in her good ol’ pick-em-up-truck with the music loud. All in all, Paige has airpods and probably secretly wants to be your friend. “Stay Groovy!”
