Throughout 2024, students at East Three Secondary School were kept aware of important events happening around the school.
No, as much as we'd like to brag, it wasn't just Inuvik Drum. A humble but daring student newspaper detailed life at East Three School on a regular basis.
A passion project by Livia Amos, who is now a graduate, the East Three Student Paper began through her work on student council.
"ISA国际影视传媒檓 the main editor, and the only person who had started the school newspaper," she said. "As the main editor, ISA国际影视传媒檓 responsible for overseeing the entire production process from brainstorming ideas to laying out the pages. It can be a bit challenging at times, but itSA国际影视传媒檚 definitely worth it.
"Although, I have a small team of contributors who kindly take photos of school events I do not go to. WeSA国际影视传媒檙e a small but dedicated team."
Amos said she started by taking photos of her school events using her iPhone. Once the project took off, she was able to upgrade to a waterproof Canon EOS mini camera. To lay the paper out, she made use of the online service Canva.
"I love seeing the finished project come together!" she said. "It brings many people together to get small laughs on the joke of the day, which was included always. ItSA国际影视传媒檚 so rewarding to see hard work pay off and knowing that I was able to create something that will be remembered for years to come. In addition to our regular issues, the newspaper also produce special editions like spirit week or sport events which helps students grasp what is coming up so they are not left in the dark.
"The school has been really supportive, especially my English teacher Mr. (Gene) Jenks! HeSA国际影视传媒檚 always encouraging fellow writers and also helping brainstorm ideas."
Amos said the ongoing challenge of filling a newspaper has made significant improvements to her writing.
Now graduated and moving on to bigger things, she said she's hoping one of her peers picks up the newspaper where she left off.
"I am a senior, so ISA国际影视传媒檒l be passing the torch to another student next year. I am excited to see where they take the paper," she said. "I just want to say that being part of the school paper has been an incredible experience. ItSA国际影视传媒檚 taught me so much about teamwork, writing and design. If youSA国际影视传媒檙e interested in joining, donSA国际影视传媒檛 hesitate! WeSA国际影视传媒檇 love to have you on board next school year."
