Gracie Klander is an 8th grader at Red Oak Junior High. She is also the Photo Editor for RO: In the Know. She enjoys playing softball with all of her friends, and hopefully next year, she will make the high school team. Her other hobby is photography. She first got into photography about a year and a half ago. The thing she likes about it is that she is able to go back and look at all the memories she has captured in a few pictures.
