The end is near for PYP

Written by Michaela Critzer, Fluvanna County High School Journalism Program | 15 December 2010

Every week, day, hour, and minute we draw closer to the end. “To the end of what?” one may ask. The deadline for personalized yearbook pages (PYP) in the Fluvanna County High School yearbook is now set for Jan. 15. At only $15 for eight pages (four self-designed pages and four signature pages), personal yearbook pages have created an opening for all students to see more of themselves in their yearbooks.

Hollowing Halloween

Written by Sydney Valenzuela, Fluvanna County High School Mass Media Student | 17 November 2010

Stores fill display shelves to the brim, kids concoct ideas of whom or what they’ll be, parents coordinate routes and assign duties, and neighbors decorate their houses as if to show welcome signs, all in the spirit of Halloween. The holiday seems to be one of the less meaningful ones, but so much fun is associated with it. Preparations start way in advance and the after effects (oodles of candy) fill many children’s hearts with joy and mouths with cavities long after the 31. Is it too much of a build up though? Is the anticipation a waste? Add a comment

A Bump in the Road?

Written by Heather Hicks, Fluvanna County High School Mass Media Student | 11 November 2010

The ultimate dream of a young Virginia teenager is to experience the freedom of driving at the sweet age of 16, right? Well, maybe wrong. In the past few months, Congress has been considering legislation that would push that dream farther back by raising the minimum age for a learner’s permit to 16 and the minimum age for a full-fledged license to 18. The goal of this is to encourage safe driving. But as a practical matter, it would mean most teenagers would be forced to ride the bus possibly through their entire senior year of high school. So overall, would this change be positive or negative? Add a comment

Government Class Preps the Polls

Written by Brianna Goode, Fluvanna County High School Journalism Student | 04 November 2010

Gene Dimmie, Secretary of the Fluvanna County Electoral Board, swearing in seniors Caleb Shifflett and Samantha Davis as election pages. For some people, Election Day is a day to make a change, for others it’s just a big hassle, but for fourteen lucky Fluvanna County High School students, election day is so much more. Add a comment

Staff Sneak a Peek at the New High School

Written by Brianna Goode, Fluvanna County High School Journalism Student | 28 October 2010

On Oct. 11, while most students were at home relaxing on their day off from school, Fluvanna County High School staff and faculty got a sneak peek at their future home: the new high school. To do so, they had to do something completely unfamiliar to most of them—hop on a school bus. Add a comment
