Above and Beyond at Lee

Spring has sprung, and Lee Elementary is buzzing with excitement over the success of the Above and Beyond program.
There are a lot of posts on MyMissourian, the Columbia Missourian's citizen journalism Web site, with tons of pictures of students presenting their Above and Beyond projects.

Welcome to a wonderful new blog

Welcome to the new blog of Lee Expressive Arts School. This is an interactive way for the school faculty and administrators to talk to the parents, patrons and friends of a very unique school.

The blog was designed and launched by the citizen journalism unit of the Missouri School of Journalism. Directed by Associate Professor Clyde Bentley, the unit has drawn international recognition both for its research and its practical application of a new field of journalism. Citizen journalism combines the of trained journalists with that of ordinary citizens, allowing people to "share" lives rather than just see them "covered."

The unit has a research Web site, but is best known for MyMissourian, a Web site that also produces first-person content for the Saturday edition of MyMissourian.

Special credit for this blog project goes to Lee Principal Dr Teresa Vandover and Mizzou journalism student Greg Tepper, who worked together to make it a reality.

As the Missouri School of Journalism approaches its centennial year, we salute the educators and parents of our neighbor, the Lee Expressive Arts School. We look forward to the day when your students will be our students.
