STUDENTS IN JOURNALISM Senior Ava Gomez and junior Leo Tordera read over the Mater Dei student-led publications: The CROWN Yearbook and The Scarlet Scroll Newspaper. Reviewing previous publications allows students to get a head start, learning journalistic skills, such as writing and conducting interviews, that can carry them through their professional careers. The compilation includes stories that represent both the student body as a whole, as well as highlighting world events that have an impact on the Monarch community. “Telling stories is important,” senior Sam De Guzman said. “The Scarlet Scroll has opened the world of journalism up to me.” Photo taken by Sam De Guzman.
