Merry Christmas and Happy 2016

As I struggle to get my yearbook and newspaper students through a couple of huge deadlines this week, I wanted to take a moment to wish all of Montana’s journalism educators a well-deserved rest and relaxing holiday with family and friends.

It is often difficult at this time of year to get through the 50+ yearbook pages and newspaper issue, but I always figure the hard work is necessary before I am allowed to leave high school behind for a week or two of snowshoeing, sleeping in and spending time with family.

I hope the first half of your school year has gone well and that you and your students are on the way to releasing fabulous 2016 yearbooks, successful newsmagazines and web sites. Have a nice vacation, and good luck in the new year.
