School Newspaper on the Horizon!
Many things have transpired in the technology department so far, this year, at BGBS. Most of my classes have completed all sorts of tasks to include creating newsletters, to learning how to utilize multiple programs to create vibrant, interesting documents. For example, here is a newsletter from my 6th grade class in which the students had to use Microsoft Word to create a newsletter. The students had to use the tables, clip art, and other functions to make interesting newsletters like this :

My 9th Grade students have completed their newspaper articles and we are now working on design, crossword puzzles. art sections, an irreverent joke page and a few other surprises. If all goes well, the first issue will be produced for all to read in October.

BGBS School Newsletter Coming Soon!
The 9th Grade Computer applications class has been tasked with writing, designing, editing and having fun with making a school newspaper/newsletter for BGBS this year. The students have been fast at work writing their first drafts to their news articles, and I have reviewed several of them and they are most excellent. I really pushed the students on this first project like a hard task - master that I am, forcing them to work all hours of the night to meet their deadlines, so that they can provide YOU with the best newspaper/newsletter ever.
A New Concept in School Newspapers
Instead of writing just about our school, the students are taking issues of national and state importance and writing articles, and opinions about those things and how they relate to BGBS students and staff. Not only are they writing articles, they are creating crosswords, pictures and a beautiful layout that our school can be proud of.
But Wait! There's More!
Due to the fact that there are so many online print on demand businesses, we may be able to print full color copies and give them out to students and staff, or use them as fund raisers and advertisements for our school.,
