Our Goal
LAUSD's budget leaves the award-winning journalism program at Van Nuys High School with a $0 budget in the upcoming school year. Without YOUR support, The Mirror cannot cover its expenses, hurting students directly and putting something that took years to build at genuine risk of falling behind.
Please consider making a donation to cover other VNHS journalism program expenses this school year

about the contributors
Jalyn Bautista, Staff
I find joy in capturing moments through photography and filmmaking. Armed with a camera, I love freezing life’s precious instants, whether it’s the beauty of nature or genuine human connections. In filmmaking, I enjoy crafting visual stories that resonate with audiences. Each click and frame is a chance to express myself and share the beauty I see in the world. Photography and film are not just hobbies; they are my creative outlets, allowing me to weave narratives and capture the magic of life.
Daimler Koch, Online Editor-in-Chief
As the Executive Editor-in-Chief of my own weekly satirical newsletter, I’m always striving to improve my writing skills in all forms. During my first year of Journalism, I was an Arts and Entertainment staff writer and later the editor of the Opinion section. Now, I’m the Online Editor-in-Chief for the Mirror. Outside of school, I’m always either reading, pretending to be four different people for my newsletter, or preparing for my next martial arts belt test. After I graduate high school, I will go to college and study to become an English professor.
