The Latest in Gillmore-Land

I am out again today...my stepson broke his ankle Tuesday evening and will have surgery tomorrow at Arkansas Children's Hospital.

HELP! I am in charge of setting up the entertainment for the Mini-Relay for Life, which is tomorrow night! I have several 10-minute slots...would you please help me recruit some entertainers for tomorrow? Sydney, are you interested? Would someone touch base with Kathleen T and the Barber sisters....today...please? Then let me know? Who else?

Today's other assignments:

• Work in your teams to create a yearbook theme campaign consisting of a cover, divider page, a sample double-page layout, and any reoccurring thematic elements that might be repeated throughout the book.
• Work on the magazine! Someone please check my mailbox for returned interview questions...some might be for newspaper (4A). Please leave those for the next class.
• We need to sell ads next Wednesday. Please feel free to claim a business...or two (someone make a master list and place in Yearbook folder) and contact any businesses ahead of time! I'm remembering...Briley and Jill, you have this under control?!
• What else? Sorry about the "scatteredness" of this...we got home about 4 AM this morning...
• Send me an email or drop a comment here...I'll read them and respond.

Once again...thanks! You are great!

Yearbook 2009 Is Completed...and Gone!

Congratulations! Job very well done! Cheesecake on Friday, anyone?

Today, I am assessing a new teacher in another school district so that she may obtain her "real" teacher's license. While I am away, please work on the following:

1. Write, type, deliver, and place a copy of your interview questions for your stories for the magazine in the folder within the "Magazine 2009" folder.
2. Then draft magazine templates. Will have to open a"new document" in InDesign. We can later copy/paste them on the magazine pages (just did not have time to break those pages out). Save these pages in the "Page Template" folder within Magazine 2009.
3. SO DUE TODAY: interview questions and page layouts.

Yearbooks should be here within three weeks...wow! That is exciting!

Have a grand day...and please leave me a comment below so I know you read this blog post!
