Letter from the Editors U
nless one has served on a newspaper staff, then one does not truly realize the amount of time and effort that goes into producing a newspaper. In the last two years The Booster has experienced substantial change. From format to staff members, The Booster has had to adopt an acceptance of change. With a staff unafraid of change or challenge, we have embraced the changes and are determined to produce the best paper within our capabilities. We take pride in our hard work and want to bring our school a paper that they are proud of as well. As Co-Editor-in-Chiefs, it is our goal to inform the student body of timely and relevant information and, in addition, recognize, cover and support our students and staff, whether that be through academics, sports, clubs or individual achievements. We want to speak to YOU. We spend hours upon hours writing stories, performing interviews, taking pictures and designing pages for you. We have an open door policy and are welcome to all ideas and sug-
gestions to how we can better serve our students and staff. In addition, we want to extend the sincerest thank you to all students, staff and coaches/sponsors/advisors that are incredibly kind and accommodating to our staff in all regards. It is immensely appreciated. Our staff is looking forward to a terrific year and are excited for everyone to see what we are working on.
