The Westwood Junior High Math, Science, Leadership Magnet team provides students with a novel opportunity to engage in real-world writing, while simultaneously engaging visitors to the campus website. Students research, write, and edit stories about campus life and academic activities for the school homepage – refining their writing skills while providing fresh, interesting content for parents and stakeholders interested in happenings at WWJH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We want to lean into opportunities for our students to not only demonstrate their writing skills, but provide them a platform to share their relevant, researched information about what’s happening in our school every day,” says principal Katie Mottram. “Kudos to Ms. Moore, our outstanding LITE, for leading this effort.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n
