And the Scratching Post springs back to life...

Writing teacher.  Is that teacher of writing or one who writes?  Both in fact.

And as a writer and writing teacher, I'm delighted to see the resurrection of McMath's Scratching Post newspaper.  We had a good run, distributing paper newspapers throughout the school and even managing to win a Pacific Press "Newspapers in Education" contest a few years back.  Still, in the end, we found that the publishing technology was too difficult to manage. 

What a difference that 3 years makes.  Now, in its new format as a blog, our school newspaper lives on.  And there is a school bursting with young writers rearing to share their writing.  I hope, in fact, this ends up being one of my last posts on this site.  We have two student editors lined up to take over and a Writing 12 class ready to share their fresh ideas.

Keep posted on our posts!  Greats things are coming.
