Your School NeedsYou!

By Tarek Talaat

The 83rd is this year’s Schutz American School’s monthly newspaper. We chose this name because it symbolizes the tradition that has been carried on for eighty-three years at Schutz. The goals for the newspaper are included in our Editorial Policy. Issues of interest and concern to The 83rd staff will be reflected in our editorials. However, editorials signed by the co-editors will express their personal opinions. We will adopt a multi-perspective approach for controversial issues.
As for the newspaper sections, we have different sections, mainly, Schutz happenings both in and outside of Schutz, feature stories, sports and entertainment, profiles, and teens’ stuff.
Our teens’ stuff section is specifically designed to interest you. We would like to extend an invitation to all students, parents, and staff to contribute to this section. All contributions will be thoroughly reviewed for publication.
You can also write letters to the editors. Letters sent to the co-editors will be given much consideration. We are planning on doing the best we can to make the newspaper an open forum to be the voice of the Schutz community.
The 83rd staff is looking forward to the online version of The 83rd so it can be reached at all times and so that viewers could interact with the staff.
The 83rd staff is looking forward to a great year in the journey of the ninth decade heading towards the first century of Schutz American School.
