32 The Cardinal St. Paul’s Intermediate March 2020

Note from the editor:

Hello students and staff. I hope you enjoy the first issue of our school newspaper, The Cardinal. Students were busy this year writing articles during our Monday lunchtime meetings and on their own time at home in order to publish this first issue. And because our regular routines were stopped so abruptly, I did not want their work to go to waste or to go unnoticed. Thank you to the teachers who submitted pictures as well. Have a look and a read. Maybe as our unprecedented times continue, some of you might want to write about your experiences. The second issue of The Cardinal could be based on our collective experiences. Stay tuned to the school website, twitter feed, and your Google Classrooms for the upcoming opportunity. And stay healthy! Mrs. Martin
