The School Newspaper

Meetings:  Meetings vary. General staff/assignment meeting once a month, but smaller meetings throughout the month for editors and layout staff.

Cor Jesu’s school newspaper, The Corette, is an extra-curricular opportunity for students to develop communications skills that allow a public forum for student expression through individual writing styles, voice, design, and photography.  Four issues are digitally produced each year, but students are not required to participate on all four issues. Staff members are required to attend a general information and training meeting at the beginning of each issue. All grade levels are welcome to participate.  Check out the website for examples of our digital issues.

Who can join:  Open to freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors, C.A.R.E. members work to improve the community through in-house service. We invite upper-classmen as leaders in order to give underclassmen guidance and opportunities to complete service without needing to drive off campus. Members are required to attend four general meetings per year and be active on service committees during the year.

Committees include: Katie’s Krew (make sandwiches for St. Patrick’s Center), Mother’s Helpers (making blankets for organizations that work with children), Benefit Musical (senior citizen night at the musical), Christmas and Easter drives, which collect gifts for the needy, as well as an 8th Grade Service Day.
