Greetings from Maryland

Hi!  My name is Jennifer Chandler and I am from Pylesville, MD (fairly close to Baltimore).  I have taught for 15 years at North Harford High School located in Pylesville.  Minus the days when I can not leave the grocery store, restaurant, gas station, or even my mailbox without running into a parent or student I know,  I love living in the community in which I work:)
  Currently my class schedule includes four journalism classes (Journalism I, II/III*newspaper, online, and broadcast (new this year) and two English 11 classes.  I am really energized about this opportunity at ASU, however, I am bummed about leaving behind my 10 year old daughter Cassidy, my 3 year old daughter Kendall, and my supportive husband Jason.  I am looking forward to networking, having an opportunity to gain a ton of new ideas and conversing with people who are as passionate about teaching and kids as I am.

If your school already has a newspaper, do you mind bringing a copy for me to see and I will do the same.  We exchange with a lot of high schools in our state, but it would be cool to bring in papers from across the country.

  1. I love the idea of exchanging papers. We do that with the other high schools in our district but with very few schools outside of our city. We printed six issues this year so I'll bring a handful of each to share. Can't wait to see what other schools are doing!

  2. I like the idea of exchanging, too. I definitely will bring some extra copies.

  4. Jen,
    I won't have newspapers to share (take home) with anyone, but here is our newspaper's website and mine. We have our last two years archived on the site.
