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!

iJournalism News Team investigates the meaning of Black History Month

February is Black History Month and the iJournalism News Team set out to interview a variety of WC students about the significance of this special month.  iJournalist, Rylie Mullins asked high school senior, Johnny Wordlaw, "What is Black History Month?" Wordlaw explained that [this] "is a month where we celebrate African Americans who meant a lot to the United States of America." Robbie Brennan of WC3, discovered from high school senior, Fred Skipper, that "Black History Month began back in 1926 when Carter G. Woodson named the second week of February as 'Negro History Week.' Fifty years later in 1976, it was named 'Black History Month.'" In this broadcast, the news team tries to find out just how much our students know about Black history and what we discovered was startling.  The news team will probe deeper in the coming weeks.  iJournalism student, Brian Lambright iterated that " Black history is American history," and we want to make sure that our students know the whole story.
