Multimedia Editor’s Letter By JUNO LE, EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

With basically a month left of school, we’re now entering the phase of constant assessments and exams. I don’t know about any of you but I will be using Issue 4 as a reminder that I did have fun during my junior year before the burnout hit. Issue 4 may look a lot different than previous issues of Knight Writers this year, but if you really compare the writing, there’s been clear growth in work. We’ve had a lot of growing pains together but I wouldn’t trade the experiences I had with this year’s staff for anything in the world. With this, I strongly encourage anyone avid fan of Knight Writers to consider joining the staff next year (See Mrs. Webster in Room 250 if interested). This is the last issue the Knight Writers staff will produce with Samuel Elliott as our Print Managing Editor. I am so grateful for all the work, talent and time he’s provided for this publication and I will miss him dearly. Not a single print issue this year would’ve been possible without his extensive knowledge. It’s been a wild ride and I wish Sam the very best of luck in college.

By SAMUEL ELLIOTT, PRINT MANAGING EDITOR They've asked me if I could do one as well, so here we go: We went with a shorter issue this time, for many reasons that luckily anyone reading this paper doesn't have to care about. This is also my last issue as Print Managing Editor, as next year I'm moving on to university. I started working in the journalism team in 2020 as a staff writer, and in 2021 they asked me if I'd like to take the position of Print Managing Editor. I tentatively accepted, and after a summer's training in InDesign & Photoshop I went into the position. Given that my main job is overseeing the production of the newspaper, I've tried to make it so each issue is, if not good, at least fun and interesting. Over the course of this year, we've worked together as a staff to produce four print issues, with each one better than the last. The entire editorial team, as well as every last staff writer, has put in their best work in each issue, and it truly can't be understated how much of a collaborative effort making a newspaper is. My sincere thanks goes out to everyone on staff for dealing with me messaging them at 3 a.m. for stuff, and for making it a great time. Here's to Issue 4.

Knights @ FSPA 2022 The Knight Writers staff recently attended the FSPA State Convention 2022 in Orlando, where they had fun, took journalism classes and particpated in a plethora of journalistic contests against other schools. We're happy to present one of the results of those contests, an "Edit to The Beat" timed video made by RHS Multimedia Editor Pim Kruthun. Scan the QR code below with your cell phone or other device to check it out!

This also goes for the other four seniors on staff. All five of you have worked diligently to act as excellent mentors for the younger staff members as well as amazing friends. Good luck with your post-graduation endeavours and may the adult world treat you well. Finals are right around the corner, but so is summer. I can't wait to welcome everyone back in August when I return for my second year as the Editor-in-Chief of RHSToday.com and Knight Writers. Enjoy your summers!

thanks forr!a great yea
