Fall, 2025 - Vol.2, Issue #1
Dear M.S. 407 Community,
Welcome to The Star Spectator, a digital newspaper founded by the students and staff of M.S. 407.
This newspaper was created with a single mission: to give our students and school community a voice. Whether it's offering the latest in book reviews, places to go, or sharing opinions, we're here to give everyone a chance to read about what matters to us.
Our team is comprised of intelligent student writers and artists who want to keep you informed, inspired, and entertained.
We have many new voices in this issue, and we've added some new sections. We also see a printed version of our newspaper in the future. Please scroll through some articles and art, and let us know what you think.
We hope you enjoy the first issue of our second school year.
Your friends,
Ms. Ward & The Newspaper Club
Special Thanks to The M.S. 407 Administration!
