September was our inaugural month for the Story & Photo of the Month contest with Ella Johnson being our winner! Ella’s article, Motherhood in a New Land, spotlights Lamyaa Shaban and her family’s story as immigrants from Egypt to America.
Johnson wrote Motherhood in a New Land while attending the Iowa Summer Journalism Workshop on scholarship from the Emerging Journalist Contest. Check out the full article on The Dowling Catholic Post!
The Iowa High School Press Association created a new contest, Story & Photo of the Month, for a chance for students to be featured on our social media. Students can submit a link to their best timely photos and stories to be entered into the monthly contest. At the end of the month, IHSPA chooses a story and a photo to post on our Instagram, Facebook, and website.
