The Silver Lining is Foxcroft's online school newspaper and is the school's only student-run publication. Created during our sophomore year (we are now seniors), we intended the website to be a place where students could be connected with events outside the "Foxcroft bubble."

Each member of our group writes about what she is passionate about; hoping to inspire passion in others. Our group reports about school, community, and global events which, we hope, will interest students, faculty, and alumnae of Foxcroft. We encourage different writing styles and do not have a "standard" way to do things. Our goal is not strictly to inform, but to encourage our followers to say "wow" when they learn something new, or laugh when they see something unexpected. We proudly stamp our names on everything we post because we believe in what is published.

We write about campus life including students' successes, school traditions, athletic events, on-campus performances, and student involvement in philanthropy. We write about what interests us in popular culture including music, videos, and entertainment news. Our "Outside The Foxcroft Bubble" articles provide a look at things beyond the every-day experiences of life at school. One of our favorite features is the "gifs" (graphics interchange format: funny illustrations popular on the internet) that we modify to relate to our lives at an all-girls' boarding school. Another feature we enjoy is our music player that is embedded into our website so our readers can listen to our featured favorites. We have also held logo and photography contests where the winners were featured on the website. We encourage our readers to suggest new ideas and features to make The Silver Lining a resource that everyone can both enjoy and help to create as we move into the future.

We decided to post our magazine electronically on Tumblr because the format allows us to upload an infinite amount of posts and to connect instantly with students and alumnae across many generations. We also created a Facebook page to encourage more people to read our newspaper. Now in its third year of operation, we are pleased that there appears to be genuine interest in The Silver Lining and that we have a new group of editors to carry on the website after we graduate.

We are very proud of how far The Silver Lining has developed since our sophomore year. We are very excited about the prospects for the future of our newspaper. We are also happy that we can provide a meeting place for members of the Foxcroft that reflects the way people communicate today.
