Cardinal Times – Spring 2023 Edition (Published May 19, 2023)

Cardinal Times – Fall 2022 Edition (Published December 8, 2022)

Each year, Cardinal’s 4^th and 5th grade reporters write the stories that matter to Cardinal students! Published twice a year, the Cardinal Times features news about the Cardinal community. 

Are your kids curious? Do they love to write (or might, with some encouragement)? The Cardinal newspaper club, led by working media professionals, teaches them how a news publication comes together. During the six-week session, the kids will identify compelling stories, practice interviewing skills, write a catchy lead, and meet working media professionals. The club meets at school on Tuesday mornings at 7:45 AM.  

To join, email Susan Straight at susanstraight@hotmail.com (4^th graders) and Carrie at rabincb3@gmail.com (5^th graders).

Help guide 5^th graders through the process of planning newspaper content, conducting interviews, and writing articles. Coordinate the layout and printing of each issue.

Contact the program chair(s) if you wish to help.

The parent facilitators, Carrie Aber and Susan Straight, are professionals in media with long careers in print and television. Email Carrie at rabincb3@gmail.com to sign up.
