LETTER FROM THE EDITOR Dear Readers, This is the very first edition of the Clawprint! This year, we have completely remodeled the old newspaper and revamped it to complement the ever-changing nature of the teenage experience. Each month a new, stylish publication will be released, keeping everyone up to date on the happenings of Creekview.
This small team has worked incredibly hard to put out this first publication and get things started at the Clawprint. We recreated the idea of Student Journalism and news at Creekview. Because our issues only come out every month, we brainstormed a way to stay connected with our student body and continue to amplify their voices. So we created a social media platform to showcase individuals who don’t typically get the spotlight. We focus on highlighting the student and teenage experience during a time of Uncertainty. Since we have such a small staff, we have had our fair share of struggles to put out this publication, from worries about content, to helping new writers to find their voice, we worked together beautifully to help everyone in the staff feel heard and respected. I am so proud of this team for putting their all into it and producing an amazing first issue.
As always, we focus on the students and their voices as the unique individuals they are not just a face in the crowd. We hope that students of all kinds, from all backgrounds, with all different dreams will find something of interest in our publication. We want to hear your stories and put them out there for others to take from and be inspired by. I hope we leave you feeling inspired.
