Scroll, Holton-Arms' literary and arts magazine, and its online version Scrolling have won the Gold Crown Award in the High School Gold Hybrid Magazine category given by Columbia Scholastic Press Association (CSPA) for 2018. CSPA's Gold Crown Award is the highest award given to student publications.
Scroll+Scrolling Advisor, Holton English teacher, Ms. Melinda Salata, and Scribe yearbook Advisor, Design & Production Manager, Mrs. Lee Zampella, took six Upper School students: Kelly O'Connor '19 and Elizabeth Zampella '19 from Scribe and Lexi Boo '18, Eden Halpert '19, Anna Haskin '18, and Greer Knebel '18 from Scroll to the CSPA conference and awards held at Columbia University in New York City.
During the conference, the group attended workshops and presentations which covered a wide range of topics from creative caption writing to finding inspiration in everyday life to a special panel discussion by Marjory Stoneman Douglas students called "It's Our Story: We Want to Tell It." "Attending the CSPA Conference inspired the girls and me with all sorts of ideas for our future publications. What I didn't expect was how moved we all were to hear first-hand the story from the yearbook and newspaper staff of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and how they were handling the tragedy in Parkland personally and as journalists" described Mrs. Zampella.
On the last day of the conference, Edmund J. Sullivan, executive director of the CSPA, presented Scroll+Scrolling their fifth consecutive Gold Crown Award for High School Gold Hybrid Magazine.
Congratulations!
