MADISON, Wis. -- Students at La Follette High School are making sure every student has a voice through the use of their school newspaper, WISC-TV reported.

With the first edition of La Follette Lance in 2006, the newspaper began targeting students who thought they had been forgotten.

For example, Andres Garcia enjoys the entire page of Spanish articles the Lance editors and writers produce for each issue.

Garcia is part of 10 percent of the school that is Latino.

"This is something that was actually overdue," Garcia said. "That was something we should have had years ago."

The newspaper staff is involved every step of the process, including getting the paper ready for mailing and distribution.

"We want reading the Lance to be easy and fun," said Lance co-editor and senior Julia Haslanger. "For some students, reading English is not easy. It's a task; it's a challenge."

The students take making the staff more diverse seriously, and multicultural friends are encouraged to join the staff.

"Diversity in our classroom is dependent on how well we cover diversity in our school," said teacher and Lance adviser Sean Storch.

So, the Lance staff makes sure that every story and issue in the newspaper has different views and opinions.

"We do need to make sure we get quotes from everybody -- from all different races," said Lance co-editor Darlinne Kambwa.

The Lance staff said it is not satisfied solely with the Spanish language page and is currently working on writing and printing stories for Hmong students as well.
