1. Add your school
Your school gets its own Town Square page under its city, like vernaculator.app/towns/ar/clinton/clinton-high-school. Anyone can read it; only comments you OK show there. You're the school's admin.
I'm a teacher or administrator at this school, and I'll OK comments before they show.
Register as your school's admin
We check every new school admin before their square goes public, so we know it's a grown-up at the school and not a prank. Use your school email address (not Gmail, Yahoo or other personal mail). We only use it to confirm you; it's never shown.

📰 News aggregator
Add your town paper's news feed, and our AI will pull from that feed every day and find the most heartwarming, positive story for your students to comment on. You always decide what goes up.

2. Today's positive local story
What makes a good story?
The best good news from your town that day: a team's win, a food drive, a new mural, a student's science project, the first snow, a neighbor's kindness. Our AI checks each story and flags anything that's political, religious, hurtful, about a private person, or a grown-up topic (violence, weapons, drugs, alcohol, dating). You can still publish a flagged one; you know your community best.
3. Post today's meme
Please post at least one comment of your own on each day's story: pick a character, a tone and a voice, and have fun with it. Yours goes up right away. A square with something on it every day is what gets students joining in, and what gets other news sites noticing a clean, wholesome, kid's-eye take on the news.
4. Comments waiting for your OK 0
Nothing shows until you OK it. ⚠️ marks a comment our AI thinks you should look at first. When you OK one, its Fish voice is made once and saved.

How a day goes
- Before school (or the night before), pick your town's best good-news story, write it here with its value and spirit animal, and tap Publish.
- In class, start your class code on the Class screen. Students join at /join, no names or accounts, then open your school's square.
- Each student writes what they think, picks a character, a tone and a voice, taps Say it in character, then Post it.
- Come back here, read the comments and tap OK (or Hide). OK'd comments show on your square with their voice, and anyone can tap ❤️ 😂 🌟.
