The Vox Box

Third grader saves best friend…

...with the Heimlich!

If any of my friends are reading right now, y'all suck compared to THIS kid. Jeesh... My friends would have laughed while I gasped for breath.

Third grader saves best friend

QUESTION: Have you ever had to use a life-saving technique like this?



In 2006, then-editor Steve Smith of The Spokesman-Review had the idea of starting a publication for an often forgotten audience: teenagers. The Vox Box was a continuation of the Vox, an all-student staffed newspaper published by The Spokesman-Review. High school student journalists who staffed the Vox made all content decisions as they learn about the trade of journalism. This blog's mission was to give students an opportunity to publish their voices. The Vox Box and the Vox wrapped up in June 2009, but you can follow former staffers' new blog at http://voxxiez.blogspot.com.
