What's the Buzz?


As first semester starts coming to a close, Ms. Lowe continues to have her Journalism students working hard on impressing the school with their original work. Journalism is a great way to get out of your comfort zone and take the time to learn about people you are not familiar with. Currently, Journalism is writing many different types of reviews and articles to entertain students and their families. You can read some great previews and reviews of extra-curricular activities on the school website written by students of the Journalism class, as well as fun, random reviews and advice columns on the Journalism blog, http://whatsthebuzzehs.blogspot.com/. “It’s like English class, but it’s applied and you can see what your stuff looks like in the real world,” said Senior Alex Evans.  But the Journalism class isn't just publishing articles on the website. If you happen to pick up the Woodford County Journal, flip over to the Nautilus section, and read the "Senior Spotlights" and other articles all written by the students. Their goal is to showcase unique stories that capture the attention of everyone. If you have any unique stories to share, talk to any of the Journalism students. And make sure to order the 2014 yearbook, Our Story, and get a first hand account of the unknown stories of Eureka High School! This year is the first year where the Journalism class is in charge of organizing and designing the whole book. They’re planning to create a fun and unique yearbook that all students enjoy flipping through. “I think it’s coming together nicely and that the students will be pleased to see more variety of people and activities,” said Junior Co-Editor, Brie Dingledine. If you happen to have any pictures of any “buzz” around the school, e-mail them to Ms. Lowe or upload them to http://www.hjeshare.com/, school code "eureka," and you may see them in the yearbook!
