At recess, lunch, and after school, students at East Three Elementary school are flocking to the
foyer to buy their copy of the schoolSA国际影视传媒檚 new monthly newspaper, the Maple Press.

For 25 cents, students can read an interview with a teacher, read the comics, find out what events
are happening at the school, and more.
The first issue of the newspaper was released in January, and the latest issue was published Feb.
1.
The Maple Press started in Abe DrennanSA国际影视传媒檚 Grade 6 class after students held an election for class
prime minister. The paper was an election campaign promise, but the whole class participates in
making the newspaper.
One of the student journalists, Evan Chhetri, said the class is learning a lot from making the
Maple Press.
