Last year I asked some of the reporters below for great sports or human interest article recs for my high school class. The great Zucchini is now part of our class culture. What articles stood out this year? @tylerharper.bsky.social @brucearthur.bsky.social @jeffpearlman.bsky.social #edusky

Judge Seagram was one of the most generous Law 12 guest speakers I ever had. Thoughtful, measured, engaging. What a fun new chapter. Great story!

Election, tariffs, yes OK all that is probably more pressing. But I wrote about two kids who bonded over their shared passion for Lego and robots. They were an absolute delight. www.nelsonstar.com/community/le...
