This week we have started layout for the March issue, which is expected to come out on Thursday, March 24. Busy as we are managing pages 1, 2, 3 and 4, we have been finding time over the last week to expand multimedia. Last Saturday, we filmed and photographed the St. Baldrick’s event hosted by the New Canaan Fire Company, where benefactors of children’s cancer had their heads shaved. We are planning on featuring a photo from this event on the front page.

Being the first year that the debate team was designated as a legitimate interscholastic athletic team, spirits were high and students were ready to debate the topic of whether the U.S. should prioritize democracy over stability.
