This will determine how much time and money you're going to need. It's best to start off publishing only a couple of times a semester, especially if you don't expect to have a large budget. You can always decide to publish more often later. The cheapest option will be using regular 8.5x11 printer paper and stapling the pages together, but unless you have a very limited budget or your students are very young, it's worth some extra expense to create a finished product that looks like a real, professional newspaper. There are many online printing services that specialize in school newspapers. Your local newspaper may also be willing to give you a deal on printing. This should include, at the very least, a computer to edit on and a printer and/or photocopier if you plan on printing the newspaper yourself. A scanner can also be useful if you want to include students' drawings or handwritten pieces. A quick Internet search should give you an idea of what each item will cost. Many of these materials may already be available for use at your school, but you may have to pay for supplies that you will run out of, such as paper and ink cartridges. Brainstorm ideas for fundraising, such as bake sales, pizza parties, and selling ads in your newspaper. You'll need their approval to make the newspaper official, and to reserve a room for your staff to meet in before or after school. Talk about how working on a school newspaper benefits students: building confidence and leadership skills, encouraging teamwork, and making reading and writing fun. Tell them what your estimated budget is, and share your ideas for fundraising. There may be funding available in the school budget to cover your costs, but you should be prepared to cooperate with the principal and school board in determining how much funding you'll receive. You may receive enough funding from the school budget to cover your costs, but you should be ready to put on some fundraising activities if the budget isn't provide enough. You'll want to plan some fundraising for before you start your paper, and also for later on when those funds run out. Local businesses may be interested in sponsoring your newspaper, especially if you put their name or logo in the paper. Once you have a newspaper staff, plan on involving them in fundraising activities. It will be educational for them, and donors may be likelier to give when the students are actively participating. Consider selling ads in your paper. Students will most likely share the paper with their parents, which can provide quite an audience for businesses. However, be aware that this will require an ongoing investment of time and effort on your part.

summary: Decide how often to publish your paper. Decide on a size and format for your newspaper. Make a list of materials and costs. Get permission from your school principal. Raise funds, if necessary.

Make sure that your parents are familiar with your friends before you show them the plan. Invite your friends to your house a couple times so that they can get more familiar with them and see that they are responsible. If they've never met your friends, have your friends over for dinner and introduce them first. After that, have them come over a few times. Your parents can't help but worry about you. They will be more likely to let you travel with someone they know rather than someone they don't know at all. Don't spring the trip up out of the blue. Find a good time to sit down and go over your plan with your parents. It may be best to tell your parents that you want to talk about something and ask them when would be convenient for them. It may be best to talk to your parents alone instead of with your friends. Especially if your parents don't know your friends very well, they may feel more comfortable and willing to agree to the plan if they are talking just with you. When you and your parents have sat down, tell them that you want to go on a trip. Let them see that it is something that you are passionate about and have been wanting to do for a long time. Also tell them which friends are coming on the trip with you. After you tell your parents that you want to go on the trip, explain why this trip would benefit you. If your parents have qualms about you going on a trip, they want to know that it's worthwhile. Don't mention partying as a reason why you want to go on the trip; instead talk about how it would enrich you as a person. You could say something like, "I really want to go to Spain because I've always been curious about my Spanish heritage, and I also want to actually use the Spanish that I've learned." Give your parents the physical copy of the itinerary, and run through each day while they are looking at it. Explain your ideas about transportation and lodgings. Also describe the main activities that you are going to be doing on each day of your trip. You want your plan to appear as ordered and thought-out as you can, so present it chronologically instead of skipping around. Make sure that you mention why each activity you are doing is enriching or beneficial. Tell your parents what budget you arrived at. Let them know that it is only an approximate budget, and that it can be worked down. Break down the budget into parts, showing them how much money is going towards transportation, hotels, etc. If your parents are financially-conscious, you could even add that you are willing to work or do chores in order to earn money for your trip. It's important to have a back and forth conversation with your parents. After you have gone through the entire plan, ask them what they think. Listen carefully to any questions or concerns that they have. By this time, your parents should see that you have planned thoroughly and thoughtfully, and should be on board. This will show your parents that you still value their opinion. This is a sign of maturity. As a result, they may be more likely to agree to your trip. If your parents are not on board with your idea, be prepared to make a few compromises in order to arrive at an agreement.

summary: Introduce your friends to your parents. Find a good time to talk with your parents. Introduce the idea of the trip. Tell your parents why this trip is important to you. Show you parents the itinerary. Run over the budget. Ask your parents what they think.

Jeans do not actually need to be washed as regularly as other clothing items. In fact, washing jeans too often can cause them to fade prematurely. You really only need to machine wash jeans once ever 4 to 6 weeks. If you notice any stains during this time frame, you can spot clean with household cleaners rather than throwing the jeans in the wash. If you're up to it, washing jeans by hand can be more gentle on them than machine washing. This should be a standard practice each time you throw a pair of jeans in with the laundry. Turning the jeans inside out will prevent detergent from wearing as harshly on the dye. Jeans washed inside out will maintain more of their color. If you notice your jeans seem to fade a bit with each wash, use a color protectant detergent. You can buy this at most supermarkets or department stores. You can also opt not to use detergent at all. Vinegar can be used as replacement and may better preserve the color of your jeans. Detergent is meant to eliminate stains but often does not differentiate between stains and dye. Vinegar, on the other hand, will make for a milder wash, cleaning your jeans without removing dye. Vinegar has a strong smell, however. If you have a sensitive nose, using vinegar may be a bad idea. Jeans tend to fade less when washed with other dark clothing. Dark dyes can fade in the wash and swirl around with other clothes. If clothing is packed in together, less dye will fade out. Wait until you have a lot of dark clothes that need washing before washing your jeans. Jeans require a gentle wash and low temperatures to prevent fading. Set your washer for the slowest spin cycle possible and the lowest temperature water. If there's an option for a gentle wash or a hand wash on your washing machine, use it.
summary: Wash jeans infrequently. Turn the jeans inside out prior to washing. Use a color preserving detergent or vinegar. Wash jeans with other garments. Use the lowest spin cycle and temperature.
