Novelteeners speak on what they have gained from the program.

Miss Teen DC piece done by the radio team.

This is a piece from the photography team. A compilation of pictures from all the teams.

This video is a presentation from the Editorial team, which was shown at the annual banquet.

For those who weren't in attendance on Saturday at our Annual End of Program Banquet, every year NovelTeens has a banquet to celebrate the completion of the program and the hard work of all of our students. Every year, one student wins the Nsoroma "Shining Star" Award. (The video explains it all). Congrats to this years recipient, Kevin Davis, a member of the photography team.

Yes. They can. But will they is the question. There has been speculation for years about the abuse of welfare with it's recipients in the District of Columbia. Mayor Fentry and his administration are looking to save millions by cutting welfare in half with their new proposed policy. The policy implies that if you are employable and are are not working, your welfare will be cut in half. With the economic standing being 11 percent of the city unemployed, advocates believe that this is the worst time to enforce cuts. With over 16,000 familes in the District taking part in the TANF and programs of that nature, many hope that this vote will take longer than suggested to be passed.
