Nichole, however I may understand that you were busy, someone really could
have given the go-ahead. I think I recall seeing several drafts in the
Newsroom and then when I looked again they weren't there. As this was not
the way I recall things working in the previous issues, I drew the
conclusion that the Newsletter had reverted to the quarterly format.
As I have obtained parental consent forms for uploading photos of my
students, and they will be disappointed if they are not included in this
newsletter (by June newsletter I meant the one with May news to be released
in June and not the June news to be released in July), please wait until a
little later when I will upload the draft I have prepared before releasing
the Newsletter. There is a 10 hour time difference between Greece and San
Francisco so I think this is the least I could expect of the person in
charge of the Wikipedia in Education newsletter.
Thanks, expecting a positive reply.

Dear Mina and all,
My apologies if myself and the Newsletter Team have dropped the ball on
requesting articles for the May edition of "This Month in Education." This
has been an especially busy and travel filled month. However,* please
understand that you may submit your article to the newsroom at any time*.
As long as your article is submitted before the deadline, it will make it
into that month's issue. The issue for May will go out today. You have
until June 20th to submit your article for the June newsletter, and I
encourage you to do so.
The submission deadline for each month's newsletter is the *20th of the
month*. Kindly check the publication guidelines
<https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Education/News/Publication_Guidelines>
for
all the relevant information on how the newsletter is published each month.
Each month, if you submit in the Newsroom
<https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Education/Newsletter/Newsroom> by the
deadline, your article will be published. Finally, if you need an extension
on the deadline, kindly reach out to me and I will see if we have the
bandwidth to accommodate your request. Most likely we will.
Thank you for your email, and for your contributions to our community
newsletter. I hope I have clarified how you can participate.
all the best,
Nichole

Hello all:)
I have been waiting for an email or Meta post inviting editors to submit
stories for the June Wikipedia in Education Newsletter. I have checked all
the relevant wiki spaces and there's nothing there. Had we not returned to
the monthly format? Am I missing out on something?
I have important stories to share, and I'm sure other educators around the
world do also: this is the end of the school year for most countries. All
the work we have been doing all year has matured, our students have worked
hard with impressive results. Please confirm that there will be an
opportunity for us to share our achievements before summer vacation
begins.
Nichole Saad, looking forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
