Updates / Announcements / Deadlines

01/23/2024


Hi everyone,


Welcome back to Journalism/Yearbook! I hope you all enjoyed your break and the first two short weeks back. I have a few reminders and other important news to share. 



I am looking forward to another great semester with these intelligent, independent, and thought-provoking students! Please let me know if you have any questions, comments, or concerns as I would be happy to hear them. We have several big deadlines coming down the pipe so I'm sure the students will be working very hard to get things done! I'm quite proud of their progress so far :)  


Best,

Ms. Newell
