Good morning, afternoon or whenever you’re reading this!
The time has finally come — it’s my final newsletter to you all. I will miss the mornings spent writing these messages for you before or, more realistically, during class.
In honesty, it’s been a pleasure to write these little messages highlighting the incredibly hard work and reporting of my lovely A&E desk. I am so incredibly proud of the hard work each one of my reporters have put in this year.
So no little joke about the weather or my hatred for Punxsutawney Phil (I genuinely hate that little ferret), just my sincere thank you for reading this newsletter and the work my desk has put out!
Until next time,
Sophia Arndt | Arts & Entertainment Desk Editor | [email protected]
