I'm proud of the March issue

We have a great mix of hard-hitting news and positive stories about students. Breigh and Kevin's story on the soccer coach is the best story we've done in the two years I've been advising the paper. I'm particularly happy that we have a story that happened the previous day on the front page. The inside pages recognize a lot of students who might not have gotten recognition otherwise.

You have a lot to be proud of. Keep up the good work and remember to speak up to anyone who criticizes our choice of news stories. The newspaper's reason for being is to report news, not to make friends. We may criticize each other freely inside the classroom, but outside the classroom, we stick together. If anyone makes a snide remark, say, "That's the best we could do under the circumstances."
