The person of the week is LaNiqua Jones. She is a junior at Lakewood High School. LaNiqua  is a very outgoing and fun-loving student. She currently has a 3.0 GPA. LaNiqua use to do football cheerleading but did not do basketball cheerleading to focus more on school. She is the leader of race and diversity club. I got the chance to ask her a few questions during her study hall.
