Last week was one of ‘those’ weeks with so many obligations, interruptions and glitches.  It was one of those weeks when you know you have chosen that right profession, that you are surrounded by caring colleagues, administrators and amazing students.  We produced our FIRST broadsheet Gauger (HS newspaper) with COLOR no less.  Despite a few errors it was one of the the best newspapers we have produced since I came here in 1995.  Editor-in-Chief Donald Griffin and his staff did an amazing job.  Kudos to the hardworking scholastic journalists.  Yearbook EIC Austin Jordan has planned the yearbook and is busily designing the cover.  It will be another FIRST that will be highly anticipated.
