Last spring during a classroom break at Fairview School, Sarah Harper said, she wondered how her church could give community children a place to play. Around Pleasant Grove, pastures are many but parks are few.

Her brainstorm was to publish a newspaper and give it in exchange for donations to a playground fund. She told her mother, Karen Foster Harper.

Harper said her daughter dreamed up the paper and has kept it going every week since April 1.
