Yearbook

The yearbook represents the school for that year. People expect a professional looking book full of memories. In order to achieve this, we expect a staff to have the following characteristics: dedication, promptness, cooperation, creativity, good attendance, patience and willingness to learn. We need students who can perform a variety of functions, such as picture-taking, computer skills, ability to pay close attention to details, and no fear of speaking to their peers. By the way, we have FUN while we are doing these things! Both 7th and 8th graders are involved with representatives from each mini-school. Students must have good grades and good behavior. Poor grades or behavior will result in probabtion and or suspension from the staff.
