Making a newspaper on a monthly basis takes a lot of work if you want a quality product. It’s spending hours after school on deadlines, hoping that one kid gives a good interview, and a lot of working as a team. Despite all that, there’s a group of students that has taken newspaper or a journalism class every year of their high school career. It’s a family, which is what always brought me back.

“It’s really exciting to see our finished product in print for the first time.”

Kerrigan Edwards, 10 “It’s fun to get the team together and see our hard work printed.”

Holly Spragg, 12 “I love being able to share the hard work our staff has put into the issue. Holly Spragg and I always pick up the issues at 6:30 a.m. It’s always fun to sing early morning karaoke with our coffees and three stacks of newspapers in the backseat.”
