Hitting the BOOKs

Hey guys- we still need to make calls, finalize ad sales, make return visits, double check with places in Osky, etc to finish Ad Sales. But we are going to begin to get into the FLOW of writing, reporting, taking photos, and getting the info onto Yearbook Avenue.

Yearbook (like any journalism gig) is a grind. You have tokeep up with the push of events. The more time that passes, the less valid the reporting will be on it and less details we will be able to dredge up.

JOBS-

PHONE CALLS TO BUSINESSES ALWAYS COME FIRST. We are still more than two thousand dollars under our fund raising of last year. So we need to push.

Editors
Sue- Due by the start of Tuesday's class- in a google doc, a note on the cheerleader's stunt for homecoming. Use DeLaney as a source. You can really make something fantastic here! Write in first person. Ask me if you have questions.

Aaron- I will email you some cut-out work to do this period. Oh the joy!

Tierney- Log on to Yearbook Avenue. We need to enter the committed sales and get bills out to them. This is an easy process.

Reporters
Abby- Get the info for the Start of School project entered. Talk to Mr. Bollman and/or Sue for ideas/help with YTO (the page design program).

Jesse and Steven- I want to two of you to make a list of questions so you can find out just exactly all that the trainers do. we see them drive around on their little cart. They have little shirts and fancy bags... but just what are they doing out there? Speak with a veteran trainer (like Callie) and a newbie (like Bree F-S). Get accurate quotes and think of a great lead line for a story.

Photographers-
See list below about football players.
Profile Pictures needed for these kids:
Carter VD
Brandon VW
Haley Johnston
Cassie Hibbler

Also, the reporters have a list of jr high kids that spoke about the J High Dance. Those kids need shot too (with a camera).

Sport Reporters
Secure the stat block for the 09 NM Varsity Baseball Team. This info can be entered into a Google Doc and saved. Invite me to join once it is complete.

We will meet to discuss the month of October. There are three big events coming up in the three sports: N. Tama, Vball tournament and CC districts. We need to plan on how to cover them.

Also, we need to place a steak in the heart of the softball season review! It should write itself!!! THEY WENT TO STATE FOR PETE'S SAKE! We'll get a firm deadline on that worked out.
