“What did you think of The Beat?” “I love The Beat! I think it is fantastic that students from the three comprehensive high schools were able to come together and create something splendid. The reporting is balanced and gives insight into the three schools. I find it entertaining and really appreciate the fact that these students are out getting the resources to further their journalistic ambitions on their own. We create venues for high schools to meet and plan endeavors together and have been somewhat successful, but this initiative was organic and really shows what students can do when they put their minds together.” — Dana Greenberg, Liberty High School ASB teacher “I think that The Beat does an excellent job showcasing the talents of youth writers in the Issaquah area and presenting articles that interest teenagers beyond the normal information included in The Issaquah Press. It is also a great example of teen entrepreneurship, as it is run by teenagers in the area.” — Kate Brunette, senior, Issaquah High School “This is a great opportunity for students to express themselves in the community and for community members to read about what their teens are thinking. It is important for adults to acknowledge our generation’s opinions. Eventually, us teens will be running the community. We are not that far from adulthood. This page brings journalistic students from all Issaquah schools together so everyone has a voice.” — Lindsey Vanosdall, Liberty High School junior “It has been a pleasure to see The Beat take shape this year, as they have championed an outlet for a youth voice that is too often left out of the discussion. I read each issue with great respect, treasuring not only the perspectives that each writer brings to the table, but also knowing that The Beat is doing the hard, necessary work of inspiring students to take an active role in community dialogue.” — Alan Blickenstaff, Youth Venture Seattle mentor “The Beat really is something out of the ordinary; of all the student-led organizations in Sammamish I’d say The Beat is unequalled in any way. Its goal is to get the message out that teens aren’t dependent beings and have so much potential. I know The Beat will succeed in their future goals and I am so proud of them.” — Steven Do, Skyline High School junior
