Talon Times: By the students, For the Students


A blurb from the Talon Times team

Yay! In case you didn't hear, the Talon Times website won second place in the GTA for best online school newspaper!

Credits go to Henry Fung, Katherine Chung, and Kevin Kang; special thanks to Mrs. Marsh and Katharine Zheng, the school webmaster; to Mrs. Luke; and also to all the people who have helped test the site and gave suggestions during its alpha and beta stages.

Congratulations to Tyler McKissick for winning second place for best comic as well.

Because the judging is over, we will (finally) be updating the Talon Times pages to our latest issue soon.

Thank you for visiting, and please help spread the word about the electronic Talon Times page!
