Did you start a new hobby during the pandemic?  The Talawanda Tribune is doing a story for their virtual magazine, Changing Perspectives, on students and staff members who have developed a new hobby since last spring.  Email talawandatribune@talawanda.org if you’re interested in being profiled for your new skill!
