Spotlight on: Camp Newspaper! (Basking Ridge)

Camp Newspaper is a new class for 2024! Students of this class serve as the reporters of all things International Ivy at Basking Ridge. They write stories, take pictures, and layout the content for a newspaper to be published. The teacher, Melissa, guides students through the creative and journalistic process. Here is a snippet of interviews that they conducted in the other classes:

Interview of a student in the Youngsters class:
