IOLA HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS have a new publication, "Writing Our Way Out", now displayed among newspapers in our periodicals section. Student-written, it's polished, professional and a thought-provoking read about teenagers coping with today's demands. Writes student Bella Rahming, "[We] have banded together to publish our stories, raising our voices and, ultimately reaching out to "Writing Our Way Out." SeniorTessa Brutchin, who worked last year at the library as a student clerk/shelver, contributed an interview piece focused on juggling athletics and academics.

"Writing Our Way Out " is a collaborative project of IHS students and the "Iola Register", explains Tim Stauffer, managing editor, (below). It gives them a chance to share their perspectives with the community. "Mental Health Matters. Our kids matter. And we believe this project does too," he says. The publication is funded by a grant from the Community Foundation of Southeast Kansas. Look for the next issue of "Writing Our Way Out" this spring.
