CELEBRATING STUDENT PUBLICATIONS: During Scholastic Journalism Week. Feb. 24-28, students shed light on their publication staffs and what they do.
Scholastic Journalism Week is a time to celebrate and bring visibility to an often underappreciated activity: our student publications.
It is an opportunity for student journalists to participate in events that strengthen their skills, to promote themselves and their publications,to spend some time examining the history of Journalism, to talk about what being a student journalist means or has meant to them, to thank those who have supported their publications, and hear from advanced students and Journalism professionals.
Next week – Feb. 24-28 – is when SJW will take place. This year’s theme is “Big Questions, Big Results.” The Journalism Education Association’s Scholastic Journalism Week of 2020 will celebrate student journalists who ask important questions about the world around them, and shed light on the people, trends, issues and stories of their school community.
Here at Inlet Grove, those elements are reflected in the Hurricanes’ GroveWatch.com online student news site, the Forecast literary arts magazine, Wellness Newsletter and Yearbook.
The overall goal for Scholastic Journalism week is that the student body’s involvement will raise the school community’s consciousness, regarding the benefits of scholastic journalism.

Great article! This simplified what SJW is and what happens during that week. This article should be the first article you go to if you do not know what SJW is. It is easy to understand and it gives a lot of important information.

Fantastic!! For someone like me who never knew what SJW was, this helped me understand the goal and importance of the Scholastic Journalism Week. This was beautifully said and nicely put together. She gave a detailed yet simple definition of SJW and what is to be expected.

This article is well written and tells me exactly what SJW is and what it means to the students at Inlet Grove. I like how the title portrays the confusion of those of us who don’t even know what SJW is, and as soon as we start reading, she tells us what it is.
