We are excited to begin our Newspaper Club, designed for 7th-8th graders! Our ICS Newspaper Club, featuring THE SPARTAN SPIRIT, will give students an opportunity to develop their journalism skills, creativity, thought leadership, and teamwork. Students will report on school happenings, express their ideas, and work collaboratively to create a rewarding end-product to be shared with fellow students and school families alike.
