dragon readingDragon Tales Junior 

Dragon Tales Junior is a student run newspaper that is written solely by the students, for the students, of Olney Elementary, grades K-5. The purpose of this newspaper is to provide students with an opportunity to share their creativity and writing skills with the rest of the school community. Submissions can be short stories, poems, drawings, jokes, or factual reports on field trips, vacations, school events, etc.

The guidelines for submitting an article to Dragon Tales Junior include:

  1. Must be short so that we can fit several articles on one page. (Note: Dragon Tales Junior is only one page.)
  2. Must be appropriate (decided by student & adult editors)
  3. Must include student's name & grade level
  4. Must include written approval by parent/guardian since it is posted on the OES web site. Parent/guardian can choose: no name, first name only, or student's full name.
  5. Must be typed & e-mailed to dragontaleskids@gmail.com  
  6. Special exceptions will be made for those students who do not have access to a computer. Drawings can be submitted in the mailbox or scanned into the computer & e-mailed.

We need submissions. The editors work very hard editing and then deciding on the layout using Microsoft Publisher.

Help us make this newspaper a success!
