As the journalism and yearbook teacher at Kings Ridge Preparatory Academy, I am excited for students to have an outlet to express their writing in

Achieve Magazine. This new opportunity is a great way for students to develop their writing and listening skills. Journalism engages Riverside School District students in a variety of ways.

• Journalism shines a light on what’s going on in the lives of our students, families and communities.

• Journalism documents life, building a greater knowledge for people to grab a hold of and become more educated.

• Journalism connects our schools in the Riverside District with the public.

• Journalism helps provide a record of culture as well as an appreciation for each culture within our school district and community.

• Journalism captures people, events and ideas in action through photographs and video sources. Kings Ridge’s Yearbook/Journalism Club meets twice a week. In the upcoming publications, the community will have an opportunity to hear from these students through Achieve Magazine
