Ms. Mintz's YearBook Class Blog: Mission Statement for Reed Middle School Life 2011-2012

The purpose of this blog is to encourage students to express themselves, speak their minds however they want without judgment, and give an opportunity for people to respond to each other. Feelings, thoughts, and everyday experiences including our trials and tribulations can be communicated in a friendly, safe, environment. We hope this blog will be cool, entertaining, and unforgetable.

We hope it will bring students closer together, and help students meet new people that they didn't even know existed at our school. Reading each other's blogs will help us learn more about what is going on around our school, and maybe help guide new kids through middle school challenges. Informative and personal, our blog will be a way for people to connect. We as a school can feel closer to one another because we have shared experiences to which we can all relate, and we are asking each other what we think. This blog is about people working together to reach a common goal: communicating what Reed Middle School life is like today.

This blog will be run by students with a little help from teachers. It will be run by us because we know exactly what we feel, and we want to know and understand each other. We also think our writing skills will improve, and that we can show our artistic talents. We hope some teachers will also write on our blog, because  we want to know how teachers feel and how their days are. We can also inform younger students what to expect in the future. This blog is a new way to share events going on around school. We're the new generation. Our blog can show the world what a group of public school students in a school facing budget cuts and layoffs can do.

We hope this blog will document what happens this year at Walter Reed. When we graduate, we want to look back at our middle school blog and be proud that we did this. The comments that we get back will tell us how we are doing. Walter Reed Middle School is pulsing with creativity!
Thank you,
Yearbook Class 2011-2012
