about how the the newspaper is giving students a voice in the community.

Sara Singh, the editor-in-chief, described the experience as “nerve-racking because there was a big camera in front of my face. I didn’t have any my answers planned so I had to come up with them on the spot.”

The reporter also interviewed Elvia Serrano, a senior who attended a national journalism conference, and Elliot Lima, a freshman who joined the staff in the fall. Other students who appeared in the broadcast include James King, Kadeem Patterson, Chris Montanez, Gabe Ulbano and Christi-Alexis Cissee.
