Editor's Note - October 2023

 

In this issue, we introduce our 2023-24 School Buzz correspondents. Every fall, we kick off this program with a photo shoot. I love meeting talented, inquisitive students. At the shoot, I asked why they want to be part of the program and how they heard about it. They all expressed passion for writing and storytelling, and many of them said they grew up reading The Buzz and were inspired to join the program. Music to my ears. Mind you, they’re already accepted, so I don’t think they’re just telling me what I want to hear. (Or maybe these bright students figured out the importance of their first assignment: Keep your editors happy.) Regardless, it makes me proud to think we’re empowering the next generation of journalists – and that our program is now a decade old. Also in this issue, read a story about “young at heart” neighbors who love the vibes at live music festivals. There is always something special to report on in our great communities.  [email protected]
