Publications Seattle Convention Recap
Eleven students across all grades traveled to the Pacific Northwest to Seattle for the JEA/NSPA Spring National Journalism Convention from April 23-27.
These students were: Lilly Brown (12), Caitlin McDonnell (12), Amber Sethaler (12), Braden Altrup (12), Ella Quinney (11), Will Nolan (11), Lexi Hufty (10), Ellie Simon (10), Jackson Adams (10), Kate Stroud (10), and Kelsey Altrup (9).
During the trip, the students went to touristic spots such as Pike Place Market, Bainbridge Island, and The Space Needle. They even got to ride a ferry across the bay.
“The ferry was really cool, I’ve never been on a ferry like that and the view of the city was beautiful to see,” McDonnell said.
During this convention, attendees got to go to various sessions, workshops, critiques and competitions.
Three of the students, Brown, McDonnell, and Altrup, taught their own sessions to various people across the country. Click here to read more about this...
