Hugh Hefner likes Steinmetz paper!

The day Hugh Hefner came to Steinmetz was a complete success. It was such a great day that the Steinmetz Star Staff decided to hold a paper with the majority of the paper to be about Hugh Hefner to then send it and wait to see if a response would be sent back. After sending the paper, Mrs. Sharon Schmidt announced to her students how Hefner had sent a response. After reading the letter we found out that Hefner was gladly to contribute to school scholarships but then he decided that he'd prefer to "help the Steinmetz Staff because i know how important a regularly published school paper can be for all the students" as quoted by Hugh Hefner.

Personally i think that this was a great moment and hope that we get another response from Mr Hefner!
