Our Goal
LAUSD's budget leaves the award-winning journalism program at Van Nuys High School with a $0 budget in the upcoming school year. Without YOUR support, The Mirror cannot cover its expenses, hurting students directly and putting something that took years to build at genuine risk of falling behind.
Please consider making a donation to cover other VNHS journalism program expenses this school year

about the contributor
Gianna Iovino, Photo Editor
I have always been a creative person, my love for art started when I was a baby drawing on my bedroom walls. My creative hobbies have upgraded from wall drawings to oil paintings, jewelry making, sewing, and most importantly, photography. I aspire to be a photographer when I’m older, just like my dad. He sparked my interest in photography and has supported me through my journey. On my weekends I work as a barista at a coffee shop, and I do local craft fairs to sell my art. Although I’m sad this is my last year of high school and my last year working with the Mirror, I can’t wait to start college and advance my creative skills.
