Student Newspaper Promotes Diversity in Language, School

Channel3000:

Students at La Follette High School are making sure every student has a voice through the use of their school newspaper, WISC-TV reported.

With the first edition of La Follette Lance in 2006, the newspaper began targeting students who thought they had been forgotten.

For example, Andres Garcia enjoys the entire page of Spanish articles the Lance editors and writers produce for each issue.

Garcia is part of 10 percent of the school that is Latino.

"This is something that was actually overdue," Garcia said. "That was something we should have had years ago."

The newspaper staff is involved every step of the process, including getting the paper ready for mailing and distribution.
