Dear Readers,

We are so happy to present the first edition of the 09/10 school year! As our newspaper club restarted in the Fall, we grew in staff members from just 12 to 33! Please take the time to read the many interesting stories and opinions that these students worked so hard on.

We are also very excited to present this newspaper in two formats, a downloadable pdf version and an online version where you can turn each page and view a spread of two pages just like a regular newspaper. It is amazing what today’s technology can provide in order to reach more people.

Just click on the Fall 2009 link here or the tab above.

Happy reading!
