Extra! Extra! The Newspaper Club Needs Supplies for Their Journalists

Help me give my students press passes and reporter's notebooks that they can use proudly in school during newspaper club time, as well as bookmarks and other supplies.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Ojalvo's classroom raised $199

This project is fully funded

My Project

I am honored to be the teacher/facilitator of the Newspaper Club here in the Library/Media Center! My students will be learning about and performing the duties of publishing an article, all on their own. For this club, we need some supplies!

I want the students to feel and act professionally, so, obviously, they need press passes to wear when they are working as journalists around the school building and Reporter's Notebooks to take notes.

In addition to these supplies, our library needs bookmarks for our busy readers. Bookmarks are great tools, and they keep the students excited about reading!

Thank you for supporting our project so that our school can accommodate our journalists properly and give our readers the tools they need!
