The Wildcat Word is Bethel High School's student-run newspaper. Students come up with newsworthy ideas, conduct interviews, draft articles, take pictures, and use Adobe InDesign to create an actual newspaper layout that is printed and distributed to students and staff every other month. Our mission is to serve as a  platform that informs, engages, and empowers the school community. Through timely articles and creative design, we do our best to chronicle achievements, events, and student life. Being a member of the Wildcat Word is a training ground for aspiring writers and photographers, promoting skills that extend beyond the classroom. We hope our newspaper becomes a tool that amplifies student voices, encourages critical thinking, and celebrates the unique spirit of Bethel High School. 

Club Info:

Our meeting dates vary depending on the issue! 

We have a larger planning meeting every other month to prepare for the upcoming edition. We will then meet during every club/activity period offered. Students can also work on their articles on Mondays after school in room 328. We also do a lot of our work electronically! We share our articles with each other to give feedback and make revisions! If you are interested in joining, please e-mail Mrs. Ricciardone at ricciardonek@bethel.k12.ct.us and she will invite you to our Google Classroom, where you will be alerted to specific meeting times and announcements!
