Ila Parkin, although historically an avid reader, has recently begun to close books and skim newspapers. She joined The Owl in order to re-spark her love of writing and reading. Ila is interested in drawing and is excited to write and illustrate articles for The Owl. Outside of school, Ila can typically be found around the auditorium or the choir room, and yes, she is a theater kid. Ila enjoys looking into controversial topics but, unfortunately, may not write about them as her opinions are typically not very popular. Ila enjoys gray, rainy days while eating green grapes. Not red ones. She believes that cooked food should always be a little crispy and that Halloween is by far the most enjoyable holiday. She hopes you enjoy The Owl.
