| KATE: | Today’s top announcement comes from the Talawanda Tribune. Dr. Weatherwax wants THS staff and students to know that Talawanda Tribune writers are looking for stories from people who attended a Taylor Swift show on the Eras tour this past summer. |
| TESSA: | Did you wait in line for hours in the merch line? Attend a show with a group of friends? Hear a song you didn’t expect? Stand outside the venue with other ticketless Swifties? The Tribune wants to hear from you. |
| KATE: | Send your stories to talawandatribune@talawanda.org today. |
| TESSA: | In other news, club meetings are underway here at the start of the school year. Here’s a quick run-down of upcoming club meetings at THS: |

| KATE: | Lastly, the Media Center is running “fine free days” right now. |

| KATE: | Tessa, have you heard those songs playing during passing periods? |

| TESSA: | Really? |
| KATE: | Yeah, just scan the QR code in the upper right of the screen to add your songs ideas to the list! |
| TESSA: | Oh, one more thing–do you know what’s going on with the junior/senior Washington DC trip? |
| KATE: | Actually, yeah. Check out this quick report from Dean and Isaac with more information. |

| TESSA: | And now over to Addi Thacker with sports. Addi, how are things over in the sports world? |
| ADDI: *conversation with anchors* |
Speaking of the heat, we just received news that Friday night’s football game is being moved back to 8 p.m. due to the heat.
But, enough about the heat. Let’s talk about yesterday’s sports. Girls soccer fell 0-4 to Taylor in a hard-fought battle. Tonight, Boys Soccer will be on the road for their first match of the season against Wyoming beginning at 7 pm And, that’s it for today. Don’t forget to note the change in time for Friday’s football game, and stay cool out there, Talawanda. From all of us here at THS Daily News, we’ll see you tomorrow and thanks for watching. |
