Pub Staff

Ever since 6th grade I have wanted to be on the Publications team. This is the team that works with the yearbook and our school newspaper, The Gusher. Only 8th graders are aloud to be in this class, so when I was in 7th grade I filled out an application and was accepted.

The Pub Staff consists of William, Noah, Margaret, Liza, Rachel, Anushka, Abby, Sydney, R.J., Caroline, and me. ( If you are wondering Pub Staff is just referring to the members of Publications) This year is going great so far in both the newspaper and the yearbook. We have chosen our editors for the yearbook and newspaper, I was voted newspaper editor. Newspaper has come along smoothly, everybody has submitted their stories and we have them all in place and all the pictures we need in. The yearbook is coming along just as smoothly. All the members have been assigned at least 6 pages in the yearbook to work on. I am working on the 8th and 7th grade school pictures page, football page, clubs page, English page, and 8th grade dances page. I have started on the football and English page but because of some difficulties with the newspaper I have not gotten as far as I would like on these pages.

Publications team is also invited to many club meetings and events to take pictures for the yearbook. So far we have gone to back to school dances, football games, volleyball games, softball games, and a new kid event. We have gotten many good and cool pictures for each of these events but I have to admit that most of these pictures are of our very own Pub Staff. I love that class so much!
