A big tradition at Bullitt East is for the incoming staffers, new and returning to get together a couple weeks before school starts and prepare for the upcoming year. This year's boot camp was very successful and fun. I had the staffers get into small groups for a friendly spread competition. The File to the left was made by Lizzy Perkins (10). I chose to include this spread because it summarizes why my advisor and I hosted this camp and was just an awesome spread, especially considering how new she was to the yearbook game.  During this boot camp, I established the hierarchy of the class and introduced all of the editors and roles on staff. We did 'Basic Training' and showed the staffers the types of media and writing styles that we use on staff. At the end of the last day, we had a little pizza party and I could tell the morale was super high for the new year.

During my junior year on staff as the Executive Writing Editor, I created many workshops to help get the staff used to writing properly. The one I attached is the first one I ever made and it is still being used in class to this day.

Media Nights are the most important nights of the year as far as coverage goes. They are stressful and chaotic but super cool. Our school host's media nights very professionally and we have very intricate schedules for each sport and there stations. We have three interview rooms in session at every given moment and three different photography stations. We try to get media for all three publications (Charged Media, Endeavor, and Livewire) in one night, so it can get a little crazy. I try to help keep it organized by ensuring everyone on my staff knows their beat group and where they are supposed to be at every second.
