The Summer Issue
The latest issue of The Little Dispatch, the kids’ section of the Rivertowns Dispatch, is on newsstands all week long!
Make a difference, locally: an interview with Haven Colgate
Two young reporters, Grey and Leon, teamed up show how small actions can make a big difference for our planet. This story grew out of our child-directed interview with Environmentalist Haven Colgate of the Hastings Conservation Commission. Here are a few photos from our interview…
Also in this issue:
You’ll find poetic expressions of the sounds of nature: Chloe's sunny "Beach Day” and Grey's moody, atmospheric "The Marsh" were both produced during our in-class creative writing warm-ups. Plus: a hilarious comic, "Fluffy's Girlfriend," from Ayla and Sienna; Sebastian's insider report from a Pokémon Trading Card Show in Queens; and Henry's deep dive into two of baseball's most infamous curses. We hope you enjoy this summer issue, a delightful mix of both the whimsical and practical!
Enrolling Now: Spots are limited!
Story Salon's Newspaper Club is where kids pitch stories, conduct real interviews, and share their work in the Little Dispatch, the kids-only section of our local independent newspaper, the Rivertowns Dispatch.
We’re excited to share that we have a special reporting trip planned for students enrolled in our fall semester. We’ll be visiting the Wickers Creek Archaeological Site in Dobbs Ferry, where students will meet an expert and learn about the earliest known evidence of humans in the Hudson Valley, dating all the way back to 6950 B.C.! This is a special opportunity to practice hands-on reporting while visiting a significant Native American site, right in our backyard. Grades 2–6, Tuesdays at HudCo. Learn more here.
