Students working hard in Newspaper class

The livewire.aasdcat.com is the Altoona Area Junior High School’s newspaper.  This class can be taken in ninth grade and is an all year course.  This class is basically made into three groups: photography, opinion and writing groups.  Each group is required to update their part of the newspaper every week.  Each group has an editor of the staff.  The teacher for this class is Wanda Pletcher in room C234.  This class is for people with an interest in writing and photography.  Check out some of these pictures to find out more!
