Four high school student journalists will be honored when supporters of the award-winning, nonprofit education newspaper Philadelphia Public School Notebook gather for their annual end-of-school-year celebration “Turning the Page for Change.” Community leaders, District officials, educators, education advocates, parents, students and other members of the community will join the Notebook for an evening of food, entertainment by student musicians and caricaturists, and recognition of school newspaper staff.

This year, 11 schools entered their student news publications in the Notebook’s competition. The winners will win a cash prize and an E-tablet, courtesy of our student journalism award partners, AL DIA News and IKEA South Philadelphia. One of our winners is Northeast’s Trevor Wuest for outstanding multimedia piece: “What are the Benefits of Karate?”, Rush Reporting, Arts Academy at Benjamin Rush.

My name is Brianna O’Donnell, I coach the Franklin Towne Charter Girls Soccer team. Our team competes in the A Division for the Public League. I wanted to write the your office about an upcoming game between my soccer team and Central High School. Currently, Central is in first place. They have not lost a game in over 7 years. I have coached at Franklin Towne for the past 3 seasons, and every year our games against Central are competitive. This year I have a very talented group of sophomores, many from the neighborhoods your papers serves. I wanted to see if someone from your office would consider covering our last regular season game or the play off run we hope to make. I know your office does a great job of covering local stories, and being familiar with the match between Franklin Towne and Central I believe it would be an interesting story. Both teams have a athletic group of girls and model what is best about Philadelphia high school sports.

We play Central home, at American Legion Field, Torresdale and Devereaux Aves., in Northeast Philadelphia. The game is scheduled for May 16th at 3 PM.

Please feel free to contact me if you need further information.

The girls Public League Playoffs are scheduled for May 21st, 23rd, and 25th.

Thanks again for all the hard work your staff commits to high school athletics.
