In this Issue of The Scroll: Early Graduation Info, NEW! Creative Writing Corner, Local Business Interview, and Living In a Time of Virtual Communities

The Scroll's One Year Digitization Anniversary!

It's official! It's been exactly a year since The Scroll has gone digital. While our team would have loved to keep up with the printing format, we also have thoroughly enjoyed the creative freedom of being able to innovate and execute ideas with much more efficiency than ever before. It's been a wild journey for us and we have grown so much over the past year. We hope that you will join us for all of our future issues and maybe even interact with our continued and upcoming projects. Our team is endlessly thankful for all of our readers who support and motivate us.

Thanks for Scrolling,

-The Scroll Team :)

Grants Pass High School Holiday Concert Videos!

Our time away from school has acted as sort of a bump in the road for music students at GPHS, and the band, orchestra, and choir departments have had to find creative ways to overcome the challenges of Comprehensive Distance Learning (CDL). For the holidays, our choir and orchestra groups put together a virtual, winter performance piece for our community to enjoy. Even though the holidays have looked much different for us during this lockdown, we hope this will bring you happiness and familiarity with school events in past years. 2020 was a ride for all of us, and here's to 2021 ending up a better year.

Thank you, and enjoy!

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 there is! All 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

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

3.) Voila! That entire page is it's 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. As for all other articles, they are usually available under the "More v" button (as shown above), monthly reoccurring 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 here 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, & GPHS Reporter

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 Z Club, Speech & Debate, NHS, and have been known to help out with several other extracurricular activities here at the school. 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 music-related 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 :)

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

Hello! My name is Kayla Feskens and I am a sophomore at Grants Pass High School. I'm a cartoonist, and 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
