On Tuesday, November 21, MFS held the 27th annual Thanksgiving Happening, but this year, it was celebrated in a different way. Despite retaining its name, Thanksgiving Happening shifted away from its years-old student groupings and its singular focus on Thanksgiving.

About the Contributors

Livia Kam, Associate EIC of Blog

Hi, I’m Livia Kam! I’m a junior and the Associate Editor-in-Chief of Blog, managing the WordsWorth website and posting each article. I also helped create our updated website as WordsWorth recently switched our web host to SNO. When I’m not running around asking for interviews, I serve in student government, edit for MFS’ literary and arts magazine, and fence foil. You can catch me wandering around Rittenhouse Square in Philly after orchestra or listening to Beabadoobee, Tyler the Creator, and Maurice Ravel.

Charlotte Nesevich, Editor-In-Chief

Hi! I’m Charlotte, and this is my fourth year on staff. I’m so excited to be filling the role of co-EIC alongside Sophia. Together, we lead WordsWorth, guiding our staffers and supporting them as they write articles and produce content. Outside of WordsWorth, I’m a part of MFS Model UN, and I love spending time with my family and friends and trying new foods.

Ethan Cohen, News Deputy Editor

As one of the news beat editors, my job is to edit all articles that pertain to recent events. I also write and pitch stories that would fall into the news category. Outside of Wordsworth, I enjoy skiing, watching sports, and playing tennis.

Zaydan Lalani, Associate EIC of Multimedia

Sophia Lalani, Editor-In-Chief

Hi! My name is Sophia, and as a co-Editor-in-Chief (EIC) of MFS WordsWorth, I supervise the movement of content through the reporting, writing, and editing processes alongside my co-EIC, Charlotte. When I’m not WordsWorthing, I enjoy playing tennis and piano, as well as watching TV–my favorite shows are How I Met Your Mother, Brooklyn-99, and Modern Family.
