Welcome to the PawPrint!

We are the official, student-led news source for Carmenita Middle School. Our website is created, written, and managed entirely by students in grades 7th–8th in our Journalism and Yearbook class. We love uncovering stories, sharing unique perspectives, and keeping our school connected.
