Teacher meetings are next week. Students arrive the following Wednesday. So much reading and prep yet to do!
I met with the former moderator of the school paper today. I'll be taking it over this year. I was concerned that she might not be happy about not moderating it, but she welcomed that.
She had plenty of good advice and suggestions. Great.
But it's going to take some work just getting it off the ground. Knowing she was not going to be moderating it this year, and not knowing what the new moderator would want, she didn't pick the new editors at the end of last year (as is normally done). That means that I have to take a week or so naming editors before we can even start planning issues. There are some good people who were on the paper last year who, hopefully, will want to return. If so, we'll be fine. If not - that's where an "ulp" comes in.
I'm looking at the paper as a long-term project. We'll make some simple improvements this year - getting out one more issue than last year, better photos, for example - then building it up more in the years ahead.
A lot of work.
Pretty exciting!
Pax et bonum

Glad to find you here! Wishing you well as you begin the new school year. Prayers from your fellow Franciscan :)
I can continue to post here as I'm not known for this blog, my name is not obviously connected with it, and it deals with spiritual matters, not the more controversial political and social ones. Glad you found it.
