Mean Girls– January 12

From the comedic mind of Tina Fey comes a new twist on the modern classic, MEAN GIRLS. New student Cady Heron (Angourie Rice) is welcomed into the top of the social food chain by the elite group of popular girls called “The Plastics,” ruled by the conniving queen bee Regina George (Reneé Rapp) and her minions Gretchen (Bebe Wood) and Karen (Avantika). However, when Cady makes the major misstep of falling for Regina’s ex-boyfriend Aaron Samuels (Christopher Briney), she finds herself prey in Regina’s crosshairs. As Cady sets to take down the group’s apex predator with the help of her outcast friends Janis (Auli’i Cravalho) and Damian (Jaquel Spivey), she must learn how to stay true to herself while navigating the most cutthroat jungle of all: high school.

Jamie Brooks grew up in a small town called Alliance, Jamie has always loved the country and how much open space there is for land and cattle! Jamie has always leaned towards the care of animals, realizing it was her passion! Growing up on a ranch she has always loved the care of animals all her life. Being a ranch hand at the ripe age of 16 has given her a head start on becoming a veterinarian.Helping fix fences, ride horses, move, and work cows. I asked Jamie why she liked being a ranch hand so much she stated, “When I was little I was always around cowboys, and watching them work with cattle I thought was awesome knowing that's something I could do”. Entering Alliance High School as a sophomore Jamie picked journalism as an elective and ended up falling in love with the class. Jamie focused on the entertainment side of The SPUD such as writing previews for movies! Jamie stated “ I wanted to do entertainment because I was running out of ideas, but I really ended up enjoying writing about movies”.As the school year of 2023 came to an end she couldn’t wait for next year! Continuing in her junior year she looks forward to being in Journalism again, for the experience and she can't wait to write again for The SPUD whether its entertainment or the social aspect of high school. Such as all the school events that happen throughout the school year! As Jamie pushes through high school, she looks forward to attending college at EWC (Eastern Wyoming College) because she loves the environment and pursuing her dreams of becoming a big animal veterinarian such as livestock. “ I love taking care of cows and horses so becoming a livestock veterinarian is where my passion is.” As Jamie continues highschool I wish nothing but the best for her. I wish her very good luck on moving further with her career. As Jamie pushes forward I cant wait to see what she brings forth to The SPUD!
