Dear Readers,

For some of you this is a welcome-back message, and for the rest a straight-up welcome. I’ll keep it short, but we at The Scroll really want to encourage everyone in the community to take this unique time at the beginning of the school year to try new activities and keep your minds open to finding new interests.

We are always looking for new writers, either as members of our staff or as contributing members of the Deerfield community, to share their ideas and get involved in an important aspect of life here. If this sounds like something you would be interested in, writer applications will be available on danet.deerfield.edu and also at the upcoming Club Fair. Writing for The Scroll is a great opportunity not only to investigate stories you yourself are curious about, but also to learn about the school in general and be able to keep the community up to date.

We also want to encourage any feedback that students, faculty or alums have on The Scroll, as your ideas are the only way we know what to fix and how to make the paper better. As hectic as the first few weeks of school can be, it is also the time when campus is most alive with excitement and anticipation for the year to come. Don’t forget to keep sending us your opinions and ideas, and please consider applying to join The Scroll staff!

Sincerely,

Charlotte Allen

Editor-in-Chief
