The Stinger

03/04/2022

With the district's masking mandate lifted, The Stinger staff will have the opportunity to return to national competition and in-person training for the first time in two years. This would provide the first and only time for several students in our diverse staff, which is committed to telling the stories of our dynamic community. (As you may know, our staff won four top 10 awards in the NSPA national contest in the fall, including second for sports coverage and fifth for feature writing.)

But due to short time to fundraise, we are asking for the community's support to help cover costs for part of the trip to Los Angeles. We realize that many people are in need; if you can donate, thank you! If you cannot, please consider sharing our request on your Facebook feed. Again, thank you for your continued support -- don't forget to regularly visit our online platform stingerehs.com and follow us on Twitter. Are you still a traditionalist like our adviser? Pick up print copies, which are available in the EHS' Main Lobby. Our 28-page February issue is running low!

Again, thank you!
