Substitute Day II

Hey guys- I'll make this short, since most of you know what I've got to say anyway: Friday's the distribution date for the December PAW PRINT, so I'm putting together what we've got today- if all goes well (and I'm sure it will), we'll begin folding tomorrow.
I don't know how many times I have to say the word "deadline" before it registers, but here's hoping this time's the last. The deadline for all articles is today at noon. Those with nothing turned in will receive a zero for this assignment. The following people are treading dangerous ground: Felipe, Isela, and Mariela.
Desiree and Tatiana- I've left a hard copy of your article, with my suggestions in italics, with the sub. It needs work, but I'm confident you can give me something workable during class today.
Frankie and Charles- you've got a good article; all it's missing is a good, relevant quote from Mr. Nichols. (Also, since this will be most readers' first introduction to him, it may be a good idea to explain his presence here at Gunderson- why is he here, what is his function, etc.)

E-mail all finished articles to ghspawprint@gmail.com (again, by noon today).

Last, there are a couple of pictures I've got that I don't have names for. I wasn't able to upload them, so here goes my best try:
Justen- I need names for the members of the after school band: the drummer, bass player, and one guitar player (I know Steven Castillo is the other guitarist).
Selina: Who was the basketball player you shot pictures of yesterday?

Now. If you've all turned in something that works (and if I haven't mentioned your name, your golden), then it would be awesome if you'd all begin to brainstorm ideas for February's paper. The problem that we're continuing to encounter is that of being assigned articles and losing interest in them. If we begin thinking about topics now (think Valentine's Day, a new semester, spring sports, etc.), maybe we'll have a better idea of what kind of stories work for the next issue. I think the process of making a questionnaire beforehand worked well this time- begin to think of questions we might distribute at the beginning of next semester. There's a post-it easel pad on the side wall- make good use of it.

I love you all with most of my heart.
