Evaluate the Future - it looks wonderful

Closing the school year and planning for the next.

For a News Site, nothing ever truly stops. Yes, the school year closes, students graduate and move on to new experiences that do not include Beaumont activities, but the stories continue. What life of students at Beaumont School never really end, there is simply a change.

Quiet hallways are empty libraries are temporary.
As this school year closes, Beaumont VOICE is anticipating the direction to be introduced in September. We are evaluating this year's successes and preparing for developing new projects.

Successes:
*The B-VOICE editorial staff has demonstrated creativity and invocation in the development of the new WordPress site.
*Energetic articles and collaboration from the Staff Writers are presented creatively and with panache.
*The B-VOICE team has forged a good working relationship and has found the strengths and energy of the team to be more powerful than the sum of the individual members.
*Beaumont VOICE has a Twitter presence and is connecting via social media.

Preparing for New Projects:
*The Beaumont VOICE anticipates expanding the staff to include more articles and activities.
*Continuing our commitment to advancing journalism skills, students will participate in Ohio Scholastic Media Association  activities.
*Improving  Publicity for the Blog and promotion of two group activities  are goals for 2014-15.

Continued Exploration:
*Students are still planning print publications.
*Students plan to investigate the inclusion of art and video in the publications.
