“Go Local!”

“Go Local!” is GWN's motto, starting from May 27, 2008, a motto started by GWN Founder Diane Zhou's dad. “So many big chain companies, like McDonald's, own newspapers that turned from local to national or worldwide. That loses the meaning of 'local news', so I support GWN,” Diane's dad told GWN. GWN is being motivated by this motto. Without it, GWN would have disappeared long ago in November, 2007!

Debate Time

GWN News: Update Corner!
Dear GWN Readers,
There are a couple updates in GWN!
1) You can answer to the debate on the website now! Please do not answer on the website if you have email. Freewebs only allows 25 submissions a month.
2) Summer is here so GWN cannot see everyone in person! Paper tickets cannot be given out, but GWN will continue to calculate your tickets. You will receive all tickets when school starts in September!
Have a great summer (and be sure to send your interesting and fun vacation stories!)!
Sincerely,
Gingerbread Weekly News

More About the Word Contest
Remember about the word contest where you can try to make the most words out of the word GINGERBREAD? GWN forgot to mention many things.
First of all, the deadline for this contest is June 22nd. You can always send in early and update your list. The judges will be Diane Zhou and Chloris Li. Chloris will be participating in the contest, but we promise she doesn't see other people's words before she is done submitting all her words.
Amanda Chang and Katherine Xiao wanted to submit an entry together. If two people would like to submit an entry together, GWN may divide the number of words by 2 or 1.5 since it would be unfair to have 2 people's words together....or would it be fair? That gets to another debate:

Divide Score?
Should GWN divide two-people entries? If yes, by how much?

GWN will allow Amanda and Katherine to submit an entry together. But GWN wants to divide their score by 2, 1.5, or 1.25 to be fair, while Amanda thinks GWN shouldn't. What do you GWN readers think?
For now, GWN will divide their score by 1.5, and they will get a bonus of dividing by 1.25 if they get 100 words. Do you think this is fair?
Send all your answers to GWN please!!!
