So, what did I do this week?

I took 14 yearbook students to the Josten’s printing plant in Visalia.  We do this every year, and this was my ninth trip.  Every year there is more renovation.  I love to see all that they are doing to keep up to date.  Unlike schools, businesses innovate.

Here are my students in front of one of the big color presses:

While perusing the art department, a group of girls found a book they really liked and wanted to imitate:

This was a size 7 book for Trinity High School two years ago.  Trinity is not an inner city school.  We are.  Trinity is an all white school.  We aren’t.  Trinity probably has no gang problem.  We have a huge one; actually two distinct gangs and a few smaller ones.

I think the idea of a notebook motif is good and one that I could go along with.  This one?  Not so much.
