Sophomore candidate Naielah Laister-Jones is an outgoing, talkative and happy student at MHS and is a part the JV sideline and competitive cheer team and is also a member of Upward Bound.

When Laister-Jones found out she made court she simply replied, “Yes!”

She said she likes to watch Christmas movies and have snowball fights with her younger sister Lexy, and has now added Winterfest to her list of things this winter.

She said the dance is her favorite thing about Winterfest week.

“I like the dancing,” Laister-Jones said. “But I’m excited for the whole thing.”
