My Project

Our newspaper club at Young School is in need of essential resources to amplify the learning journey of our budding journalists. By acquiring quality writing materials, cameras, and printing supplies, our students will be able to explore their creativity, improve their writing skills, and gain hands-on experience in journalism. These resources will not only empower them to express their thoughts effectively but also provide a tangible platform to showcase their work.

Our primary goal is to create a dynamic and engaging newspaper club that fosters a love for writing and journalism among our elementary students.

Our students at Young School are a special group of individuals with boundless creativity and enthusiasm.
