Hi's Eye
“My Hi’s Eye experience was a succession of unique and memorable experiences linked together by a lot of writing and rewriting. From interviewing a local celebrity to figuring out how to pH test the school water to exploring an almost-open megamall, I was constantly learning and experiencing new things. My peer editors helped me grow significantly as a writer, and the subjects that were assigned to me frequently challenged me to think as I hadn’t before. But most memorable were the amazing friends I made in Room 111 while planning new stories, writing satirical poetry, playing Club Penguin and debating Westfield Diner vs. Vicky’s.” -Kathryn Bartlett

The St. Francois Society, a no-kill rescue in Missouri, lost its state license in 2011 for multiple health and welfare violations. Over 200 cats and dogs were taken from the unkempt property, many of whom were found roaming loose.
