District wins award for 'tip sheet'
Wednesday, May 14, 2008
Those items have been written by students though the Contracted Education program at Farmington High School and are submitted by the district to local media outlets for their use. Each week, the Farmington Press runs the notepad, a run-down of upcoming school events.
Molly Hartrup, district communications director for the Farmington School District, accepted an “Award of Excellence” from the Missouri School Public Relations Association earlier this spring for work done by the students under her direction. The work recognized was for the calendar year of 2007, also recognizing those students who graduated from high school last year.
Hartrup says the students work each week to give the paper as many stories on district activities as possible.
“They make the contacts with the principals and teachers to find out what events are taking place in their schools, if they have students to be recognized or any other information,” says Hartrup.
The students go to the district’s buildings, interviewing and gathering information for the stories. They also take photographs to accompany the articles, obtaining the information needed for the photo cutlines.
The final stories are edited by Hartrup and the finished product — along with photographs and other information — are submitted to the newspaper.
