The Vox Box

April Fool!

Today's the day. That entertaining, love-it-or-hate-it "holiday" is here once more. So, who got pranked and who pulled a prank? Anything worth sharing?

My Japanese teacher scared one girl half to death with the typical, "Oh my gosh! A cockroach!" gag. Funny thing is, this was the second time she had pulled it in the space of fifteen minutes or so, and it freaked my poor friend out all the same (both times, I should add).

Anything interesting happen to you?



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.
