THE PAW PRINT Vol. 1 Issue 1
September 12, 2017 Every Ending, Starts With a Beginning
The students of Urban Pathways 6-12 Charter School proudly present to you the first of many issues of “The Paw Print”. The first student led school newspaper. The students working on this paper put in a lot of time and effort into creating something great for the good of the student body. This newspaper will be filled with awesome thoughts, insight, and ideas from some amazing students ranging from grades 6 through 12. While still in its infancy of development, it is our goal that the Paw Print becomes something for other staff and students to build upon for years and years to come. Just as anything starting out new there is sure to be some growing pains and multiple changes happening. The team working on this paper felt it was very important to get something started to help build school moral and student/staff participation in making Urban Pathways a school that students would be excited about going to and staff would be proud to work at. On behalf of the entire Paw Print staff I would like to say thank you for taking the time to read and welcome to the “Paw Print” era, long may it reign. Hail to UP

Lebanon area who plan to stage a rally outside several business offices in the upcoming weeks. Written by: TyRaya Kitchen & Jaquan Benton
Exciting NBA Offseason This offseason NBA teams went hard at targeting great players to add to their teams. The team that I feel went the hardest were the Boston Celtics with getting Kyrie Irving in a trade from my favorite team, the Cleveland Cavaliers. In return Cavs received Isaiah Thomas a few other players, and a draft pick. I still have faith in my Cavs to beat the Celtics this year. I think LeBron will be a great mentor to Isaiah and Isaiah will have a good season. Will he have a better year than Kyrie? We will see. The eastern conference is going to be hard to win for any team. The real test will come during the NBA finals to beat Golden State Warriors since they have all their superstars coming back to their team. My Cavs always work very hard and play well during the playoffs. So I still have faith that they will be able to beat Golden State again and win another championship.
