      As November draws to a close, TJ Broadcast looked As November draws to a close, TJ Broadcast looked into two students' participation in NaNoWriMo - National Novel Writing Month - and their ongoing attempt to write at least 50,000 words before the month finally ends. "I feel like creative writing is very interesting because you can express so many different ideas - and it's a really good way to destress, especially from school and academics, because no one is expecting anything from you or your writing," junior Lily Walters said.

      As we celebrate today what we are thankful for, tj As we celebrate today what we are thankful for, tjTODAY wanted to look into the struggles of being a teacher during online learning, and how teachers have been adapting to these changes - and how students are thankful for all their hard work. "I'm thankful for my teachers for sticking with this online program - this lack of being able to see their students in person means that they're really not teaching the way they've taught their course for the past couple years, so I appreciate all the effort they've put into these online classes and making that transition," senior Justin Choi said.
