| "REACH Out" News |
| Calling all Budding Journalists, Storytellers, Writers and Poets!
REACH has a new newspaper for you to submit your creative writing for all to see and enjoy! The brainchild of Amanda Camacho, it is called �REACH Out�. We estabished the Journalism Club in August 2006 and meet monthly for informal journalism classes and actual production instruction. Students interested in being a part of the ROJC (REACH Out Journalism Club), should plan on attending our meetings at my home in Irmo*. We take new members all year long. Please see the description of the club below. See the REACH Calendar for the date and time of our meetings.
