The Veritas Wants You!

 

The first meeting for the Veritas after school club will be on Weds, Sept. 4 at 2:35 in Rm. 124. We are looking for an editor-in-chief, a sports editor, and a website editor, along with photographers and reporters.

A team approach will be used to get the newspaper and website together but you can come up with your own ideas and work on them at a pace that fits your schedule.

Editorial positions are open to everyone who would like to apply.  Those who have written for the paper before will receive preference as editors, but anyone is welcome to apply to be an editor.

All students can  write or take pictures for the paper, including freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors.

We hope to see you on Wednesday!
