Letter From The Editors
The first issue, as we have told our new staff members, is always the hardest issue to
produce. This issue was not only tough for us, as new editors of the paper, but tough in
the way that we decided to cover a very tragic event. However, we are firm believers that
leaders and strong communities help each other rise above and overcome tragedies, which is

exactly what our Belleville community did. This strength and unity is what we, The Prowl, truly

wanted to celebrate in our first issue of the year.

We are very proud of our staff for being able to come together, despite the circumstances,

in order to present to you our hard work and dedication. We could not be prouder of our first

FULL color edition of The Prowl, and we hope you enjoy the hard work our staff has put into
