Newspaper students go to big apple

Wanda Pletcher took some of her news-writing students on a trip to New York.  They went to many places there, but they went there for a newspaper conference.  They went for three days so they could do more things.  They went to a Wax Museum, John’s Pizza and a conference to help them with their writing skills.
