Attention Journalism and Yearbook! BADMINTON Sign-Ups will be held today, January 4, during 4th and 5th Lunch Periods. 4th Period sign-ups will be in Ms. Wojo's Classroom, Room H105, held by Kimmy Ny and Linda Nguyen. 5th Period will be in Ms.Dee's Classroom, Room H501, held by Assistant Coach Andre Alvarez. DON'T FORGET TO SIGN-UP FOR BADMINTON! GET ON IT!


This week we will be working on writing skills in class. Please do not bring work from other classes to class as you will not have time to work on it. Also, A period staff members need to arrive to class on time each day. That means 7:20 every day. Please set your alarm clocks and arrange your rides to make sure you're in class on time.

No worknight for Template staff in January. February worknight is Friday, Feb. 4. Please plan accordingly.


Some story assignments will go out this week, so check the spreadsheet. If you have a story you're particularly like to write, please email Chris and Chloe (cc Wojo) about the particular story. We will be doing a 12 page issue in February. Two of those pages will go to the middle school and another one or two will be for full page ads. The long and the short of it is that you have more space this issue.


Don't forget the semester ends January 14. Therefore, all professional development needs to be taken care of no later than Monday, January 10. Please do one of these courses that you have not already completed from NewsU:


Cleaning Your Copy
Beyond the Inverted Pyramid
First Amendment for High School Journalists
Freedom of Information (this is very good for seniors in Gov.)
News Sense: The Building Blocks of News (recommended for first year staff members)
On the Beat: Covering Education 
Multimedia Reporting: Covering Breaking News
