Yearbook Committee
The 2016-2017 Yearbook Committee will be holding its first meeting in the Library on Thursday January 12, 2017 at 6pm. We are looking for volunteers, no experience necessary, just a willingness to work with a team to put out a great yearbook. Meetings will most likely be once a month, maybe an extra before yearbook goes to final print. I am also looking for any pictures anyone has taken at any school event thus far or anyone willing to take pictures at any future events they attend. The picture quality is better with a camera so those are preferred, but we can try any pictures you may have taken. Thank you in advance, any help is appreciated! Please feel ...
