hey guys, it's Natalee.

so, I'm only in the 4X advanced Jism block, so this is the photo to-do list for 4X
- Liza’s profile on the soccer coach (Megan’s getting that along with baseball for Tarah)
- German/Latin battle (Steph and Zach)
- Talent Show (Naoko and Ashley Bruner)
- Caitlin’s Gymnastics (email Lindsay Carr)
- Hannah Somers indoor track (Hannah Dickinson taking photos for Somers)
- Tarah’s hairspray rehearsal

We are getting Caitlin's Gymnastics over the weekend, and if we can't get them over the weekend then we have some gymnastic photos on the photojournalism file. Second is Hannah's indoor track, which Hannah Dickinson is getting photos for then she will email those to us.

All of the others (German/Latin battle, Talent Show, Hairspray, Soccer and Baseball will be taken on Monday or Tuesday... Monday would be convenient cuz we'll be leaving for NY on Wedesday

I don't know what everyone else is doing, so let me know and we will coordinate photos. Hopefully you already have them but, if not, it's not that big of a deal: we'll make it work.

thanks guys! :)

Congrats, December Issue, and Other TidBits

Hey all,
Congrats on another successful met deadline! I'm so very proud of all of you! Because I couldn't get in touch with everyone in time, it's been settled that our traditional deadline party will be held on your respective day, the first X/Y day after Thanksgiving Break. Sorry all, I know it would have been great to have it on either of the two days we have until break, but I want to guarantee that we can get as many as possible to participate! I'm really glad you all are working as hard as you are, so lets continue on this path!
So be brainstorming about the December issue. The issue with this issue (haha) is that we have around two and half weeks until deadline. That means we need a HUGE push of ad sales and articles. Hopefully we can work with WenMcnally again this month, but we can't always rely on them. I'm currently trying my best to get in touch with the PTSO President to see if we can work something out. My hopes aren't set to high on it, however, so again, lets raise that money for print.
Snead and I really enjoy the center page of the paper this month. Really fun. Really cool. AND we could print across the bleed. I'd really love to do this every month from here on out. So, if you have a great idea for a two page features spread (for any month) let me know.
Also you guys, I know we're strapped for cash on printing alone, but we also need to be considering funding for the New York trip. I'd love to be able to take as many people as possible, but even then, I know its a long shot. So lets work together to raise the money.
I have also told myself since I became Editor-In-Chief of the paper last year, that I wanted to have at least one issue printed in color under my editorial-ship. So lets work towards that for our final issue, alright?
I know we have a lot to aspire to this year, but I do want to enter our paper back into the VHSL competition and yeah, I want to do even better than last year. Lets keep trying our best to make that happen.
I believe in us,
So believe in us too.

Minor issue

We're running low on money this month.


real low.


SO, Megan has made a little coin jar at the front of the room. If you have any lose change or something you'd like do donate, go a head and put it in the jar. We need around $150 by Wednesday.
I'm scared.
You should be to.
Sell ads.
Lets make this happen.

Aye, it's a new month:)

Hey, sooooo as you all know, we're having issues with Wen McNally....that means one thing: "WHERE'S THE TAPE, WHERE'S THE TAPE, WHERE'S THE TAPE MARKER MARKER WHERS MY SHOE I NEED MY SHOE" <- That was Schwartz, we all know how he is, ignore it. haha.

ANYWAY!
That means one thing: ad sales ad sales ad sales.
You guys, I know it's hard to sell an ad right now with economy and all, but seriously, try. It's always worth it to try. And get your staff on it too. Remind them every meeting that you have, to work towards getting one. Really, you have no idea how giddy I get when we sell an ad. Haha. We can do this ya'll.

Also, obviously, get to work on articles. Remember editors, I need you writing an opinion article for your section, EVERY MONTH. For more info on that, go to the Opinions blog and see what Devaux has to say okay?

Alright.

Cool.

Awesome.

Get to it :)

Opinion Article

John Schwartz here.

I'm planning on writing an opinion piece on why I think it's dumb that we have the eagle as our mascot rather than something Forge related, such as the blacksmiths. Just giving you a heads up.

NEWSPAPER STATUS AS OF NOW:

COM-FREAKIN'-PLETE!
I'm so excited you guys. You all really made this happen. It's our first issue, and we're done the day before deadline. You all really blow my mind. Thank you so much.

Thursday for my Y-days, we're having a Deadline Party. Same goes for Friday for my X-days. Bring in something, ANYTHING! We need food, cookies, chips, sodas, cups, forks, plates, napkins. Anything is something. You guys earned this, so lets celebrate okay? People who were in my class last year know that I'm particularly dedicated to these parties. We make deadline, we have a party. I'm even known to bring in a Giant Cookie! So don't forget, & editors, mark on your pages about it too! We want the word out!

tarah fh pics- sent

To... Lauren+Snead

Tarah sent Anne Kline's hockey pics to my email address, as well as the Talon's email address. So the field hockey article is taken care of.

What other articles need pics before the Oct. deadline??

From... Nat

Editors, I'm not kidding here:

We're doing a great job so far at staying on deadline. I'm not stressed at all about it-a first! However, we're STILL lacking photos.
Bring up your section's folder. Make sure every article that you think requires a picture, has one. Grace, Shelby and Tarah that means you all. News can get away with not as many photos, but ya'lls sections can't.
Talk to your staff, if they don't have a way to get a photo, like for sports, get in touch with Natalee Rombough. She'll take care of it.
I'm serious guys, as of now, this is really the only thing giving me stress. We're only missing around 7 articles for a 16 page layout that now runs at 10pt font. We're doing REALLY well. If I can just get photos, I'm positive it'd be set for print by Monday.
So let's all hop to it okay?

Editor Opinion Articles

Hey this is Stephanie.
All editors should be working on their opinion pieces and be almost done with them. If you haven't started yet or can't formulate an opinon of your own, then you better get on that. If you need help, ask me.
Peace, boo.
Hey guys. This is Natalee Rombough- I'm the photo editor in block X4

If any of you guys need help with a picture, or can't think of one to put with your article, or can't get to a game that you need to get to- PLEASE come talk to me!

I'm not really chained to a section- so if there is any slack that needs to be picked up, not only with photos but anything else, I can totally help :)
