This unique program allows students to enhance their writing skills, work collaboratively in a creative setting, and develop valuable teamwork and social skills.

Moreover, students will join the staff of their very own newspaper, where they will develop crucial time management and writing skills. They'll dive into the 'who, what, when, where, and why' of news reporting, learning how to conduct interviews, write about local events, express their opinions through op-ed essays, and manage the production of a digital publication.

The class is lead by experienced writer in multiple genres; winner of the 2022 Beverly Hills Film Festival screenplay grand prize, whose three short plays competitively selected and produced by regional theaters in four states.
