I do about 30 copies a time, and I end up running out of them the first day, she said. It isn t sanctioned by the school, and no adult proofreads it. But teachers, just like students, can t wait for it to come off the presses. People can t get enough of it, said Julie Thomas, a work and family studies teacher at the school. I mean, it s hot.

Thomas is amazed by how professional the newsletter is, especially for someone Tiera s age. Each front page has an index, and the computer artwork matches the season. Inside pages are splashed with color borders and filled with horoscopes and school events. Two friends Kim Brawner and Brittany Ayenson have helped, but most of the newsletters have Tiera written all over them. She reviews movies and TV shows, lists her favorite songs and offers opinions on drugs, poverty and school violence.
