Overview
Thornapple Street News, Shepherd Street News, and Leland Street Sunday News may have been produced decades apart and on different streets in Chevy Chase, but they all reflect the joys of play, adventurous and curious spirit of youth, and the support and encouragement of community. From interviewing their neighbors, to writing, printing, and distributing, children published these newspapers from start to finish in the basements and offices of their homes. Despite the amount of work involved, these young reporters captured the news of their neighborhoods and the world, from new pets to new presidents, all with honesty and humor.
