Sylvie Goldner, ‘22

Dear Bardvark Readers,

I’m very excited that you are about to embark on the first issue of The Bardvark for the 2020-2021 school year! Clearly this year is like no other, but that will not stop the incredible BHSEC writers from undertaking groundbreaking journalism. Covering the political climate, social justice issues, BHSEC news, and why the 3rd floor bathroom is superior to all others, there is no topic (well….besides a few) that The Bardvark does not cover! 

As The Bardvark is not a traditional newspaper, we encourage all types of submissions. These can range from artwork, comics, and crossword puzzles to articles featuring why strawberry ice cream is inferior to all other ice cream flavors. 

You do not need to consider yourself a “good writer” to join the team. This is a great opportunity to develop your journalism skills, get in some fun writing, and learn what it is like to be a part of a newspaper. We love having students from all grades join as we try to encompass as many diverse perspectives and experiences as possible! 

If you are interested in becoming a part of The Bardvark team and writing/submitting content what excites you, email bardvark@gmail.com. Also, be sure to check out our Instagram @thebardvark to stay updated with school news, student’s memes, and the opportunity to submit anonymous questions you would like advice on.  

Enjoy the issue! 

Joyfully,

Sylvie Goldner, Editor-In-Chief, 2020-2021
