The Vox Box

Please no more cupcakes…

With prom season rolling around in Spokane, prom dress shopping is limited as I found out the hard way. I went to all the big prom stores, and I felt like I was shoved into giant cupcake dresses that didn't fit me and given not so great service. FINALLY went to a great store selling prom dresses downtown called Finders Keepers 2. Its such a hidden little store but it was so unique and the dresses were beautiful! And not to mention they give lots of discounts and I didn't see a single cupcake. FAB!



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.
