"I do a little bit of everything including yearbook, journalism, and AP English. This is my eighth year at the helm of our school paper. We have come so far, but are having trouble taking the next step. We have never had a budget and are basically self sufficient. Page design software has gotten quite expensive and is making it a challenge for journalism departments across the nation to stay afloat.

Each week my students overcome archaic software to produce one of only three weekly papers in the entire state.

We are in desperate need of an upgrade of our computer software. We have trouble uploading to our website and our printer. This would help alleviate those issues.

Your help will keep my students engaged in journalism. At a time when my layout and design people are struggling with frustration, you can help give them peace of mind. HIDE
