Hello! My name is Camden Flowers. I am honored and privileged to introduce myself as the Editor-In-Chief of the Brandon High School Student Newsletter: The Paw Print. I began my journalism journey during my sophomore year when Bully’s Buzz, the alumni newsletter, was created. After the first year of publication for Bully’s Buzz, Sam Ratliff, the 2022-2023 Editor-in-Chief, and I felt convinced to write something for the students. We founded the student paper at the beginning of the 2022-2023 school year. I can confidently say that the creation of The Paw Print allowed students to have a new source of information and an outlet for their opinions. These past few years have been years of progress- not just for The Paw Print and Bully’s Buzz but also for myself. I started writing for this paper as a timid writer who didn’t know why she was writing. However, while writing for BHS, I have found that I enjoy giving my perspective to those around me. I long to fill pages with information while also offering thought-provoking insight. As Editor-in-chief, I have ensured that Paw Print is a paper filled with perspective and thought. However, The paper you are about to read is by no means perfect, but I assure you that every word has been carefully thought over and given our full attention. It is my hope that The Paw Print becomes something you look forward to reading every month.
Your Humble Editor,
Camden Flowers
