In addition to a team of Lincoln Staff members who will help the students hone their new skills, we will be joined by a small team of high school students who write the newspaper at Winchester High School. Their expertise will help the elementary students with their research and writing, and their technical skills will ensure that our young reporters are able to edit their work and format it for the newspaper.
