The Buzz Newspaper, offered as an elective class at Williamsburg City School, is an exciting opportunity for students to engage with journalism and discover the art of storytelling. This class covers important news and other topics within our school community, providing a platform for students to express their voices and share their perspectives.

Key Features of the the student newspaper:

• Covering Local News: Members will report on events, achievements, and updates happening within Williamsburg City School, ensuring that the student body is informed about important happenings.

• Recognition and Highlights: The newspaper often spotlights exceptional students, faculty, and events, celebrating accomplishments and fostering a sense of community within the school.

• Skill Development: Students will learn essential skills in writing, editing, interviewing, and photography, gaining hands-on experience in creating a real newspaper.

• Team Collaboration: Members will work together to brainstorm story ideas, plan layouts, and edit articles, enhancing teamwork and communication skills.

• Publication Process: Students will gain insight into the entire publishing process, from drafting articles to designing the layout and distributing the final product.

The Buzz is seeking donors to help offset the increasing costs of printing the publication, as well as to provide enrichment opportunities for the student staff. With your donation, the student newspaper will be able to continue to grow and flourish.

In exchange for your generous donation, you will receive a special sponsorship within the pages of an upcoming issue of The Buzz. You will also get to choose how that sponsorship is displayed inside the pages of The Buzz. Currently, we will be utilizing two options for potential sponsors: We are accepting traditional print ads that can be placed directly in the paper (if you already have a logo or in-house ad that you can provide), or you can choose to have a banner on the front page that reads, “This issue has been sponsored by [Your Name/Business]."

If you or your business are interested in sponsoring an issue of The Buzz or if you have any additional questions or concerns, feel free to contact Timothy Wyatt at timothy.wyatt@wburg.kyschools.us.

We appreciate your consideration in becoming a sponsor.
