LETTERS: THE PAW ENDS ANOTHER YEAR ON A HIGH NOTE

To the editor:

Another school year is coming to an end, The Paw staff at Schultz School is working on final page proofs for our good-bye issue.

Thanks to the wonderful Adopt-A-School partnership we have enjoyed with the Southeast Missourian for 16 years, we have just celebrated another successful year of work. The Paw was the only junior high-middle school paper in the state to receive the Missouri Interscholastic Press Association's All-Missouri rating this spring. And the staff members also earned 24 individual awards in the state contest.

We traveled to the University of Missouri School of Journalism to see a landmark to the great tradition of media work in our state.

Thanks to all of you for continuing to give young journalists a real taste for the love of writing and publishing. "The Paw is a good experience for life," one student said in his end-of-the-year exam.
