The Vox Box

Happy Winter Break!!!

Happy winter break to all those that have it this week!

Shall we build snow angels? Have sledding contests? Light candels in a circle, smother ourselves in mustard as we chant and dance a sacrificial jig for the sun God to get rid of this stupid snow so that we can have a real spring break?

Ummm, the last one.

What if it keeps snowing?



In 2006, then-editor Steve Smith of The Spokesman-Review had the idea of starting a publication for an often forgotten audience: teenagers. The Vox Box was a continuation of the Vox, an all-student staffed newspaper published by The Spokesman-Review. High school student journalists who staffed the Vox made all content decisions as they learn about the trade of journalism. This blog's mission was to give students an opportunity to publish their voices. The Vox Box and the Vox wrapped up in June 2009, but you can follow former staffers' new blog at http://voxxiez.blogspot.com.
