Huntingtown High School’s Online Student Newspaper
It’s been awhile. Snowmaggedon, Snowpocalypse, SNOMG – whatever you want to call February’s massive two-foot snowfall– has thrown off teams, left classes behind schedule and, if you were keeping track, delayed the release of this newspaper. It’s finally arrived as a March edition that covers a diverse array of topics: Winter Olympians our age, a review of MTV’s Jersey Shore and its fist-pumping influence on Huntingtown, Facebook privacy settings you should change the next time you login in (aka in ten minutes), and dating advice – in comic form.
