We think this is going to be a nice and fun learning experience for everyone especially for the Citizens of Millsberry.

We had an interview with a few people and this is what they said "I have to admit," said Danielle Dodd, of Westridge, "I was expecting the field trip to just be a boring tour of the Gazette offices, but it turned out to be so much more! We got to actually take part in running the Gazette for a day. We helped choose which stories would be written for the paper, and saw the editors and artists put everything together. It was so awesome!"
"We're going to give running our own version of the Gazette a try as a classroom project," George Davies, of Golden Valley, told the Gazette. "The writers at the Gazette really stressed the importance of choosing a variety of stories to keep readers interested. I'm looking forward to deciding what our stories will be about and how long they should be. It really seems to be a balancing act between quality, quantity, variety, and meeting deadlines!"

The History Of Enviromental Day
What was the purpose of Enviromental Day? How did it start? These are the questions The People are most frequently asked.
Actually, the idea for Enviromental Day evolved over a period of seven years starting in 1962. For several years, it had been troubling The Peple that the state of our environment was simply a non-issue in the politics of the country. Finally, in November 1962, an idea occurred to the people that was, they thought, a virtual cinch to put the environment into the political "limelight" once and for all. The idea was to persuade President Kennedy to give visibility to this issue by going on a national conservation tour. they flew to Washington to discuss the proposal with Attorney General Robert Kennedy, who liked the idea. So did the President. The President began his five-day, eleven-state conservation tour in September 1963. For many reasons the tour did not succeed in putting the issue onto the national political agenda. However, it was the germ of the idea that ultimately flowered into Enviromenatl Day.
They continued to speak on environmental issues to a variety of audiences in some twenty-five states. All across the country, evidence of environmental degradation was appearing everywhere, and everyone noticed except the political establishment. The environmental issue simply was not to be found on the nation's political agenda. The people were concerned, but the politicians were not.
Rythem Time!!
I Heard the spring wind whisper
Above the brushwood fire,
"The world is made forever
Of transport and desire.
"I am the breath of being,
The primal urge of things;
I am the whirl of star dust,
I am the lift of wings.
