---------------------
"I have been an educator for over 34 years and have worked along side many outstanding representatives at the four schools at which I have either taught or administrated. I will tell you that there has never been one better than Marcia. As a school principal, I understand the importance of having a top-notch and high-quality yearbook; it contains all of the memories of the year for our students and our community. Marcia is the person who makes sure all of this happens. She is a very knowledgeable individual who has years of experience with Taylor. She works very well with our yearbook adviser and all of the students on staff. She is very accommodating and attempts to work with the school itself to make the printing and delivery of the books successful. We are very please with Taylor Publishing Company in all aspects and, because of Marcia, we at Merritt Island High look forward to many more years of an enjoyable relationship."

Today's Tip
Hard to believe that we need to be thinking about building 2010 publication staffs ... but here it is: registration time looms again. As you do your recruiting, keep a copy of this wonderfully inclusive contract that students must sign at Jeffersonville High School in Jeffersonville, Indiana provided to us by Kelly Short, Topic Adviser, and compiled by present and past scholastic journalism teachers at that school.
