Grants Pass High School Student Digital Newspaper - The February 2021 Issue

In this Issue of The Scroll: Honoring Stacy Morgan, Ask The Love Doctor!, Valentine's Day Poll, Valentine's History, and Fashion Column+ so much more!

A Fresh Start

Hello, readers of The Scroll! We hope that, with the start of Quarter 3, everyone is able to have a fresh start to the new semester. Times are pretty rough right now so, obviously, academics isn't at the forefront of some people's priorities. The past year has been rough on everyone, some more-so than others, and The Scroll team hopes that this issue will find you well. We always have a variety of selection of interactive activities, informative articles, and awesome art if you ever need a distraction from the stress of life. Take a moment to relieve that tension in your shoulders and jaw and just take a deep breath. You made it! No matter how last semester went for you, we hope that you can get through the next one with all limbs (and, hopefully, your brain) intact. The Scroll is rooting for you!

The Scroll appreciates your support, take care of yourself out there. And as always...

Thanks for Scrolling!

THE SCROLL - GOOGLE SITES NAVIGATION

How To Access Our Issues

Usually, we distribute our issues through Instagram and via email district-wide. See below for some other ways you can access our previous or current issues!

Grants Pass High School Website

Instagram (Mobile)

The link in the bio will always have our latest available issue of The Scroll. Please feel free to give us a follow @gphscroll and share around our issues!

Navigating Our Site

The page that usually pops up first is The Scroll's homepage (the page where you're reading this right now), but that's not all of The Scroll! All of our articles and content are organized on pages. You can access all of this content by scrolling up to the page you're on and clicking on an article name or hovering over the "More v" tab. This is explained further below in a visual format for your convenience:

Computer Navigation

1.) Scroll to the top of the homepage and click on either an article title. To access the rest of the content, click or hover over the "More v" button in the top rightmost corner for the list of all our other columns.

2.) Boom! The page you're on is now the desired content/article you wish to enjoy. Simply scroll down to read.

Enjoy!

Mobile Navigation

1.) Click on the 3 bars in the top left corner at the very top of the page.

2.) Scroll through all of the titles and click whichever one you want to look at.

3.) Voila! That entire page is its own content for your viewing enjoyment.

How We Organize Our Issues

Our Homepage houses our team introduction section, important information you need to know, and featured content that we want front and center of the issue. Usually, we will also have a quick monthly snippet about seasonal events. All other articles are usually available under the "More v" button (as shown above). Monthly recurring columns tend to be more towards the bottom of the "More v" drop list.

If you have any further questions, you can contact our team advisor and president at these emails:

The scroll is recruiting Members!

The Scroll team, while fiercely dedicated and diverse in their talents, can always use more members. We're hoping to continue producing a larger variety in content for our readers, but we only have so many writers! Some positions that we're looking for are Cartoonists, Spanish Translators, Interviewers, Editors, and (with high demand) Sports Reporters. Even if those positions don't interest you, we're eager for any quality content that Grants Pass High School students can provide. We are more than willing to welcome any other contributions to our issues. You don't even have to be apart of the team to send in content!

Why should I join? How do I join?

Something that's great about The Scroll is that we encourage individualized content. Our team is all about promoting the ongoing events at GPHS, but our main focus is projecting student voice. The Scroll loves encouraging student passion and expression. If you, or any other GPHS student you know, would be interested in joining The Scroll, then please refer to our "Contact The Scroll!" tab on this site to receive more details on our contact information and meeting times. At most, all you'll have to do is give an example of your writing/skill to our advisor, Mrs. Tyrrell. You can also earn Journalism credit if you join early enough in the year and consistently contribute to issues. We would love to expand our team and bring even more student voice to The Scroll. With your contributions and membership, we can do just that. We look forward to potentially seeing you at future meetings.

Can Gladiola students join?

Absolutely! In fact, The Scroll needs more Gladiola student voice, as we currently have no Gladiola students writing for our issues. The Scroll would happily welcome Gladiola students to our team!

Thanks again,

Digital Editor - Milan Geurin

Milan geurin

The Scroll President, Chief Digital Editor, & Writer

Hey gang, my name is Milan, and I'm a junior here at Grants Pass High School. As president and chief digital editor, my whole job is to help format and put together each month's The Scroll edition. I also run any meetings and am generally in charge of making sure that students' voices, creations, and projects can be projected to our readers as smoothly as possible. This is my third year being a part of The Scroll, and my second year as its president. I love what I do here at The Scroll and I hope to consistently write, produce, and edit The Scroll for the remainder of my time here at GPHS. I'm also an officer for two other clubs, and am a dedicated member of multiple other clubs. If you ever have any questions, feel free to contact me at my email: m.geurin1@d7apps.gp.k12.or.us

I would like to take a moment to appreciate Mrs. Tyrrell, all my teachers who got my writing to this point, our readers, and all of The Scroll's writers and contributors for making The Scroll happen.

Thanks for reading and supporting The Scroll team members. Happy Scrolling!

Liv Akers

The Scroll Vice President, Reporter, Writer

Hey, Scroll readers!

I’m Liv, and those of you who regularly read The Scroll will be seeing quite a bit of me. I’m a junior here at GPHS, and have been living in Grants Pass since sixth grade. I specialize in feature articles, and primarily cover topics such as marching band, current events, and random miscellaneous things that I want to share with people. I love Journalism, and hope to maybe even pursue a career in it one day, so I love feedback from readers! I also run The Scroll's Instagram page (@gphscroll).

Thanks for reading The Scroll and, hopefully, my writing will connect with some of you as I play my role here at The Scroll.

You can contact me at o.akers@d7apps.gp.k12.or.us :)

Ella hayes

Photojournalist, Writer, Reporter

Hello! My name is Ella Hayes, and I am a junior here at Grants Pass High School. I am a writer and photojournalist for The Scroll. I took Journalism class as a freshman, and this is my second year as part of The Scroll. I am very passionate about all kinds of writing, though I prefer to write factual, historical, creative, and photojournalism articles. Every month, you can see my YA Book Review column with new updates. I am involved in several activities through the school, such as band and winter guard. A couple of my favorite activities are reading, hiking, and photography. I am eager about any story at GPHS or any current events, so don’t be afraid to contact me about any story you would like to see in The Scroll! My email is ellakhayes@yahoo.com.

Thank you, and enjoy reading!

Sean Glover

Video/Photo Editor, Photojournalist, Writer

Hello, Scroll readers! My name is Sean Glover, and I am currently a junior at Grants Pass High School. I am a journalist, as well as the video/photo editor for The Scroll, occasionally helping with other things, as well (since we definitely need it). I’ve been very invested in writing since I was in 5th grade, and have excelled greatly in that area. This includes short stories I’ve created, creative pieces of literature, and screenplays and straight plays I’ve written. You may have seen me or will see me on the stage, as I also enjoy performing in choir and in theatre. I’ve been acting and singing for about eight years, and plan on continuing these activities through high school and college.

Thank you for reading The Scroll, and I hope you enjoy this wonderful collage of articles, interviews, and whatever our digital editor (look above for more details) decides to slap on the front page. If you need to contact me, my email is s.glover@d7apps.gp.k12.or.us

Kayla Feskens

Cartoonist / Artist, Writer

Hello! My name is Kayla Feskens and I am a sophomore at Grants Pass High School. I'm a cartoonist and a writer. This is my first full year being a part of The Scroll. I have been in art classes every semester in high school so far and I've always loved drawing.

Every month, you can check out the Cartoon Corner for new comics and cartoons. I'm always looking for suggestions on what to draw next, so feel free to contact me if you have any ideas for a cartoon for the next issue! My email is k.feskens1@d7apps.gp.k12.or.us

Thank you so much for reading The Scroll!

If you are a recurring reader, then you have definitely seen my name around. I write articles and interview people for our monthly mental health column and our column that discusses local businesses. I also take on other projects, here and there. I love talking to people and understanding what makes them, them. If you need or want to contact me, my email is p.bulyalert@d7apps.gp.k12.or.us.
