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 contributor
Ellie Ray Steinberg
Ellie Ray Steinberg, Arts & Culture Editor
Ellie Ray Steinberg, a junior, is the editor of the Arts & Culture section of The Mirror, the award-winning student newspaper and website at Van Nuys High School in Los Angeles. This is her first year of journalism. In her previous two years of high school, she could be found onstage in many of the mainstage theater productions and continues her passion for performing arts this year in two theater classes as well as being a member of Dance Company. You will most likely see her around campus with her blue headphones in while listening to Lorde, Sufjan Stevens or one of her many favorite musical theater albums. She is on two club boards, with her titles being secretary of Women Make Change and historian of Theatre Board. Outside of school, she is part of youth theater companies and has been in countless shows that she could not tell you all the names of if she tried. She plans on majoring in theater in college after high school and minoring in something smarter, like English or business.
