Dear reader, Thank you for making this year’s issues of The Pinion successful! To all the students who voted in our polls, checked us out online, became our “photographers,” wrote a letter to the editor or if your work has been featured in the paper, thank you! It was great to see our paper filled with our own students’ voices. Another mahalo goes to the men in reprographics who helped us design and print each issue. We learned so much from you. Of course, what would a newspaper be without you teachers? A big round of applause for all teachers who submitted student work, gave us ideas for stories, and the ones who let us interview you and cooperated with us. All of you have helped us make The Pinion a fantastic student-based paper, focusing on the lives of us Tigers. But most of all you, who are reading this paper, a very big thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Sincerely, The Pinion Staff
