Patty Gomez, the founder and director of The Enrichment Circle, is passionate about stimulating creative thinking in children, as you’ll hear as she describes how her organization provides enrichment programs in the arts, nature, physical education, technology and literacy.
Listen to two of the students who write for her newspaper, The Circle Gazette, the nation’s only newspaper produced by and for students under age 18. Staff reporter Ismail Ercan, a 9th grader at Pine Crest School in Fort Lauderdale, talks about how the experience has helped him refine his writing skills. Reagan Olenick, a 5th grader at Everglades Elementary School in Weston, is a frequent contributor to the newspaper with her stories about school and travel adventures. Christie Voss, one of many professional volunteers with the organization, handles the graphic design of the paper. She explains the many opportunities to support the paper, including advertisements that cost as little as $250 for a full page.
