Meet the Day-Riverside Branch Teen Squad

by McKelle

Hi there! I’m McKelle, and I’m the Teen Associate Librarian at the Day-Riverside branch! I’m so pleased to introduce Day-Riverside’s awesome Teen Squad Group this year and all the amazing work they’ve been doing!

Hello! My name is Jennifer Echeveste, and I will be a senior at West High School next year.  I have lived in Salt Lake City my entire life. I love being a part of softball and Dance Company programs at my high school.  I am honored to represent my peers as the Senior Class President of 2020-2021. This will be my third year volunteering with the library, and I am excited to participate in this year’s Teen Squad team leader of the Day-Riverside Branch. I enjoy volunteering because there is always room to improve my communication skills and get to know more people and create strong connections.

My name is Anagha Rao, and I will be a junior at Skyline High School. This is my first year volunteering with Teen Squad, and I am part of the Day-Riverside Branch. One of my favorite parts of Teen Squad was working on my unique project and getting a chance to make a positive difference in my community. In my free time, I enjoy playing tennis, learning about nutrition, and writing for the school newspaper. I love to be involved in my community and aspire to work as a medical professional in the future. My project is a 30-Day fitness challenge to help teens and adults stay healthy during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Hello! My name is Jules, and I am a Teen Squad volunteer at the Day-Riverside library. This is also my second year being part of Teen Squad! I am going to be a freshman this fall; some of my hobbies include drawing and writing. I am an aspiring artist with two webcomics, and I’m working on writing a novel! My Teen Squad project is making a zine for each month of 2020.
