Spring is in the Air (Well, Kinda)

Despite the Inland Northwest's notorious tempermental weather, spring break has arrived, and it's about time!  Local schools have let out for a chilly, frosty spring break that officially started Monday for some school districts, including those from Northern Idaho.

So my question is this: How will YOU be spending your spring break? Or has your break already come and gone (*tear tear*)? What does the spring vacation of your dreams look like?

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.
