Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this program, we will overcome barriers between our students and our community because of its ready made "family" audience. Giving Minnesotans access to this high quality arts experience of student essays in the newspaper. Evaluation will occur through a follow-up meeting, notes related to personal observation, and having participants describe their own impressions and submitting.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We met on a regular basis as three coordinators. The project generated excitement for the advanced student since they were published in the newspaper and increased their quality to be proud of what is in the newspaper. The quality of their work remained the same at an excellent level due to only limited adult proofing needed.
