"Crusader Chronicles"
We are ready to begin the second year of Our Lady of Hope School’s student newspaper, the Crusader Chronicles! Last year the paper’s first three issues were huge successes.
Students in grades six through eight are eligible to participate in the Crusader Chronicles as reporters, writers, photographers, editors, graphic designers, and more. Meetings will be held three times per month after school. Participants in the newspaper must be able to meet deadlines and follow directions. Of course, regular academic responsibilities must be the first priority.
A flyer will be sent home in the Friday Folder announcing the initial interest meeting.
Mr. Heenan is need of dedicated parent volunteers to make the Chronicles a success this year. Help is needed to lead meetings, edit student drafts, and oversee the graphic design and layout of the paper. Please contact Mr. Heenan at
dheenan@ourladyofhope.net if you are interested in helping.
