Big news always happens right AFTER deadline

So, our girls basketball team is substate champs - headed to Emporia Wednesday to continue play. If the girls win, they'll play in the state championship Saturday night. Exciting stuff.

The un-exciting stuff is that our paper is due to press at 1 p.m. FRIDAY. I'm working on trying to get the deadline extended for at least the cover and double truck so we can cover the weekend's events as well. It sounds like the boys team at West is also playing this weekend, so maybe extended it for two schools in the district will be okay? Who knows.

We're having a pep assembly tomorrow to send off the team. Then, the spirit bus leaves at 12:45. A yearbook photographer is riding the bus. Should be fun for her. At least she gets to ride it for no charge since she's working!

Then, on Thursday, we're supposed to have a spring recognition assembly. Yearbook and newspaper have the option of being announced - which would be wonderful IF we could get the results from our regional contest by then. The natives are getting restless and would like to know whether or not we had anyone place with carry ins. Everyone say a little prayer tonight that we'll get word by tomorrow so the kids can get the recognition they deserve.

By the way, if you read Betsy's blog you saw her post about celebrity hair makeovers. It's addicting. I've picked out a few of my best. I'll post them over spring break when I have no other exciting news.
