J-W Teen Advisory Board

We want you (and your ideas … and your photos)

The Journal-World Teen Advisory Board has a lot cooking to kick off going back to school, and we hope you’ll get involved, too:

Teen fashion forum

Students entering fifth through 12th grades can join the board as we sort through what’s in style for fall. Bring your favorite fashion magazines, and we’ll interview you about what’s cool and what’s a tad too trashy.

The fashion forum will be at 7 p.m. Aug. 7 at the News Center, 645 N.H. Call Christy Little at 832-6361 if you would like to attend. Feel free to bring your friends.

Teen advisory board meetings

The teen advisory board meets this fall at 7 p.m. Mondays (usually the third Monday of the month). You must be entering fifth grade to join the board. We’re looking for story ideas, writers and photographers. Call Christy Little at 832-6361 or Steve Rottinghaus at 832-7254 if you’d like to attend. The next meeting is Aug. 18.

Tell us about your vacation

Send us a photo of what you did this summer — whether you were sunning on the beach or hanging out with friends at home — and include a short description of what you were doing. You’ll need to identify everybody in the photo with you, include your name, phone number, school and grade, and a return mailing address if you want your photo back. Photos can be submitted to teens@ljworld.com or dropped off/mailed to The News Center, 645 N.H., 66044, Attn: 18 & Under. Photos are due no later than 5 p.m. Friday and will be published in 18 & Under.
