Support LAHS Griffin Gazette journalists

Two Los Alamitos High School seniors, Bella Kim and Maleah Fennessey, from the Griffin Gazette, are set to attend the Fall National High School Journalism Convention, Nov. 7-10, 2024, in Philadelphia.

Hosted by the Journalism Education Association and National Scholastic Press Association, it’s the nation’s largest gathering of high school journalists, with over 5,000 attendees. Bella and Maleah will gain invaluable experience through workshops, contests and networking with top professionals, bringing back new skills and insights to elevate LAHS journalism.

Thanks to the generous support from South Bay Youth Journalism, a $500 scholarship from The Youth Center and GoFundMe donations, Bella has nearly covered her costs.

However, we still need help to cover Maleah’s and the chaperone’s remaining expenses. Your contribution will ensure they can take full advantage of this incredible opportunity. Any amount is greatly appreciated!
