They made bags and put info sheets and the magazine inside, so they can be sent to big companies. After this work, they got to see the new issue coming out for the spring, the White Issue. They got to proofread it, to make sure there were no mistakes. After lunch the girls got to work on a computer and write a paragraph of what could be placed in the Blue Issue coming in December this year. Six students went to CKNX.
