The copy that was delivered yesterday has only one story on the front page, about happenings at the new high school that is opened near us. I was very pleasantly surprised to see that article was written by my grandson. He is a freshman at the new high school, playing basketball and participating in school life for the first time after having been home schooled from kindergarten through his junior high years.
The boy is taking a journalism class, and is working on the yearbook staff. The story in the community newsletter continues on page 2 and ends on page 3. The young man did a nice job, if I do say so myself. Best of all, it was paid by the paper for his efforts.

That first byline is a spectacular moment in a young journalist's life.

He is thrilled about the notoriety, but even more by the $75. And he is being retained throughout the school year to make a monthly report at the same fee!
Congratulations to your grandson! That is great for him!
AWESOME STUFF!! :)
