Thank you for your support of Galena writers and students
The Hawk Highlights appreciates the increasing readership we've had throughout the year and support and kindness
from those who have backed our efforts. The GILA journalism class provides students a real-life opportunity to apply language arts
skills on behalf of the school district and learn how to handle themselves in a professional, mature manner while working
with the public. The lessons learned here will last a lifetime.
Of course, journalism in the modern era means combining text, still
photos, podcasts, and video to tell the story. This year we've been
expanding our media understanding by presenting podcasts and video of school events so the parents and families of students
at the boarding school can see what is happening in our community. We will continue to grow in that direction. Our goal of looking
backwards by saving old copies of yearbooks and school newspapers online has not been forgotten and will be pursued.
It has been a pleasure working with the fine young men and women in the journalism class. May they have many blessings on
life's journey.
