iJournalism class tours The Columbus Dispatch

On Thursday, March 19, just hours before the Senior class' departure for their missions trip to the Dominican Republic, Mr. Stoll's iJournalsm class attended a field trip to The Columbus Dispatch located at 34 S. 3rd Street.

While at the famous Columbus-based newspaper, students toured the facility with Chief Photo Editor, Craig Hollman and learned of all the different jobs and equipment required to produce the daily publication both in print and online. 

The iJournalism students will be gathering stories while on their trip for future reporting upon their safe return on Thursday, March 27, 2015.

Please pray for the team comprised of 77 students, staff members and medical personnel for safe travel, effective ministry and changed hearts. For updates and pictures during the trip, follow the blog here: http://wchs2015seniortrip.wordpress.com/

Medicines needed for the senior trip to the Dominican Republic

As you may know, the senior trip to the Dominican Republic is coming up in less than two weeks. The seniors need your help to gather the materials they need to take down to this lush island with them. On Friday, you'll be given the opportunity to help out via a medicine drive. If you bring the medicine assigned to your grade, you will be in turn rewarded with out of uniform that day. 

Its absolutely understandable if you don't quite have a grip on what exactly the seniors will be doing in the DR. Essentially, they are spending half of their time in villages stricken with both physical and relational poverty attempting to bring the joy and message of Christ to the children and people involved with the schools there through VBS-type activities. The seniors are spending the other half of their time touring the island, soaking in the sun's radiation, and bonding as a class before they graduate  If you're still curious, feel free to speak to a senior about it and ask them what you can pray for while they're gone! They have prayer bracelets they'd love to give you. Don't forget your medicine on Friday!
