YIKES! Technical Difficulties?!?!!

May 2, 2009

Yes it’s true! We actually had a recording session this week with special guest PTO Prez Jenn Auville however, due to user error on Shima’s end, the recording quality was unlistenable. (Note to self: Do not rush to setup sound equipment for a quick recording session at lunch break.) Unfortunately, busy schedules didn’t allow for a re-record HOWEVER we will be back next week with special guest Superintendent Bruce Newlin to discuss not only him personally but what’s going on with the budget crisis in our schools and why a bunch of teachers are walking around with a nervous look on their faces. 

Jenn Auville will return the week after that to bring all the newsy goodness that she does! In the mealtime, take some time to download some of our past episodes as much of that info still applies today! And you’ll still get some laughs out of it! For now, this week’s episode will be forever known as “The Lost Episode…”
