Our Contributors
The Southwester relies on volunteers to contribute its stories. If you are interested in in please email the editor at editor@thesouthwester.com with your article, and when possible, include a picture. You may also say whether you prefer the article in print, online, or both. All submissions for print are due by the 15th of the month prior to print.
As a parent of a child who will attend Amidon-Bowen Elementary School, I would like to promote Amidon-Bowen as a viable choice for Southwesters to send their children. They now have free Pre-K and free after-care! They have a highly caring and competent principal, fantastic teachers and wonderful amenities.
Would someone be willing to feature an article in the Southwester? Perhaps an interview with the principal?
Final date to register if March 2, 2015. Southwest students in the area are guaranteed a spot.
Thanks!
