Create a Headline

Headline: *

1st Paragraph

Denver, CO— Opening paragraph should be really brief but explain all the important points: who, what, when, where, and why. This paragraph should be anywhere from 3 to 5 sentences.

First Paragraph: *

2nd Paragraph

The second paragraph goes into more detailed information. For example, this section could explain the importance of the event and why it’s taking place. In general, remember that most important information should be placed at the beginning of the press release - information at the end is less likely to be read.

Second Paragraph: *

Quote

In this next section, offer a quote from a Principal or department head. Remember, this quote is often used in the story. Do not use a quote to state a fact (Ex: do not write "Our fifth graders will be staging 'Phantom of the Opera' on October 25 and 26," the principal said). Rather, the quote should convey an opinion or feeling (Ex: Do write "Our fifth graders are passionate about the songs in 'The Phantom' and have spent countless hours rehearsing, building the set and making the costumes," the principal said. "I know all their hard work will pay off in a great evening of entertainment."

Quote: *

Last Paragraph:

Wrapping It Up
