In an effort to pay off our $11,000 deficit with Jostens, we asked Mrs. Hanigans business classes to help us sell ads. The good news is that added to the ads we already sold first semester, we're now pulling in almost $4,000 this year. The bad news is that now we have to dedicate at least 13 pages to ads.
That means that I've had to adjust the ladder some. Prom only has one page instead of two and we won't have division pages. So far, I think this only effects pages layed out by Stacy Wednt. I know she'll be disapointed, but her grade will benefit (after all, she's been doing all of Jessi and Gild'a work for them.)
If any more of you lose pages you've already worked on, I really am sorry- but when it costs between $6 and $7 thousand a year for a little 96 page book and you're $11K in the hole, you make room for ad pages.
In other news:
- Jordan, PLEASE get us some baseball pictures!
- Bonnie, just finish up Volleyball and I can have Kelsey do the Girls Basketball pages
- Anyone not working on your pages, please realize that your passing the class depends on it, so does our getting the yearbook done. I know I've been building ads in PhotoShop all hour and haven't been supervising you, but that's not an excuse to do nothing.
- Remember the final for this class is Thursday May 14- a week from today.
- If you need a review sheet, see me
- If you're interested in being on yearbook next year and would like to attend a one-day workshop on Yearbook Avenue or PhotoShop hosted by Colleen in Atlantic in July, please see me for details.
- Exciting news about next year, we renewed our contract with Jostens after all. The bad news is, no more custom covers or endsheets, but the good news is... color. Talk to me about "YRBK II," which will be actual work on the actual book and a lot of free time, those poor saps taking "YRBK I" will have to take all the notes and learn all that layout and design stuff from the beginning.
