Beginnings and endings

The beginning I'm thinking of right now is the rollout of the new design of the school's website. Pretty slick! I kind of miss the abundance of rollover candid photos, especially on the library link, but I have to admit that they were slow to load and not actually necessary. The ending I'm referring to is, of course, the end of the school year, which was officially launched during yesterday's awards ceremony. I was delighted by the honor given to Principal/Director Kassie Patton, who was selected as Administrator of the Year by the Illinois Journalism Education Association. She was nominated by journalism teacher, Mr. David "Never-Sleeps-A-Wink" Porreca, who praised her unstinting support of a student free press. If I ever had a challenge in the library, I am sure she would be just as supportive of students' rights to access information.

And what would the end of school be without some last minute cramming? Chelsea has found a comfortable spot in the library to do just that.
