Our Mission!
TYWLS Chronicles (TC) is TYWLS's first-ever digital newspaper. TC was created to support TYWLS families mentally and emotionally. We provide information from around the world in small, legible sections to help TYWLS families get an understanding of the various aspects of the world today. We bring entertainment sections as well to give TYWLS families something to be happy about during unhappy times.
TYWLS Chronicles: it's more than a newspaper.
TYWLS Chronicles began in December of 2020 by Sadiqua Khan and Afsana Rahman. They joined forces with club advisor Michael Stuart to deliver leisurely and informative news to the entire school during an ongoing pandemic. In an attempt to bring everyone closer, the Board started and will continue the legacy of spreading the importance of news in the coming years.
