Substitute Day!

Good morning my lovelies. I'm terribly sorry for the absence- I'm at the district office taking a SDAIE training class. Wish you were here. But since you're not, I've got about 10 minutes to tell you what I expect of you today. Now it's 5 minutes, because I just spoke with Mr. Karosen.
First, I know this goes unsaid, but with the exception of stay-at home-moms, substitute teachers have the hardest job on the planet. Be nice to the gentleman in the front of the classroom.
Second, I meant to put a flyer on the server requesting interviewees for our gangs of gunderson story, but I ran out of time. It would please me to no end, and earn tons of PAT in the future, if you, as a class, could put together a good-looking product to lure kids into interviews (keep it appropriate).
My suggestion would be to use Pages:- the "band poster small" template would work well, I think. Include the following:

*an attention-drawing picture
*the purpose of the interviews
*who we are looking for
*assurance of anonymity for interviewees who request it
*any other information that you think is necessary.

When you've agreed on the flyer's look and content as a class, submit a draft of the flyer to my drop box. One of you, at least, should know how to do this. Break a leg. I'll be looking at it this afternoon.

ps. If you want to comment below and keep me company, that would make me smile.

Speaking of crazy, the woman sitting between Mrs. Day and me at this meeting stacked her plate full of pastries first thing in the morning and proceeded to eat them as if from a trough, like an actual pig on a farm- just lifted the plate to her mouth and began chowing down. To finish it off, she licked the plate. For serious.

Is anybody actually putting together something resembling a flyer? Please tell me yes, even if you're lying.
