The yearbook team is starting to create the yearbook for the 20-21 school year. It is unknown whether we will be in physical school soon, so the yearbook team has created an alternative for the yearbook pictures for grades 8-11. There is a google FORM for all students where you can upload your picture. There is also a detailed message stating what is needed for the picture (good lighting and the colored shirt according to their grade) and what should not be in the picture (no tongue, no hands, and no filters). If there any any questions you can email Ms. Shaffer.
