“Paper, paper!” shout kids with a still warm, fresh copy of iNKSTAND at their fingertips. There are so many talented kids at West Navarre Intermediate School, many of whom are talented in writing. This was one of the reasons Mr. Long and Mrs. Baer, both gifted teachers at WNIS, started this program last year. When questioned about the program, Mr. Long said, “We didn’t want this to just be for our gifted students, but an opportunity for anyone and everyone,” and added, “…specifically, we wanted to also include students who may be struggling, or have lack of interest in their school work, with hopes of getting them motivated and turned on to learning.”
