Working with Sundog in a newspaper program for four years improved student writing, self-esteem, motivation, and engagement. The program has benefited students in Grades 3, 4 and 5 on many levels. Community members notice the effect of the program on our youngsters, as evidenced by James S. Oddo’s message to the newspaper club, ‘It is great that you can speak in a public forum with confidence.’ Parents are happy and feedback is positive.Erica Mattera, Principal, PS 11
