ISSUE 3: Letter from the Editors

Juno Le and Zoe Thaxton

Welcome back to another issue of Knight Writers. After a quarter of working together as co-EICs, we’re happy to share the latest work from the Robinson newspaper staff.

In this issue, the Knight Writers staff addresses some of the conversations we’ve been having in our own classes outside of Room 250. The front page of this issue highlights some of the Black literature taught in Florida’s high school curriculum and in Robinson English classrooms. On the back, the authors of banned books have been visualized in light of recent discussions of teachers removing books from their classroom libraries in the state of Florida.

On a lighter note, Spring has sprung. All spring sports are back and their respective seasons can be previewed on the centerspread. Also in the sports section is a profile of a winter sports athlete who set a record at Robinson, so check that out as well. Celebrating the start of the spring sports season was the Spring Sports Pep rally that happened on Feb. 24, which is covered on the second page of this issued along with some photos.

There are also a few concerts coming up this spring. Some dates can be previewed in the A&E section as well as a few concert essentials suggested by RHS students. From country stars like Morgan Wallen and Luke Combs to pop sensations like Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran, there’s a long list of artists to see now that the weather’s warmed up.

We hope you enjoy this issue and we can’t wait to see what’s to come in the fourth issue and our last with the Knight Writers staff. Don’t forget to check knightwriters.org for digital content and more consistent coverage. The year is almost over (we are both counting down the days until graduation), so let’s crank out these final weeks.
