Seniors! You only have two more days to submit your senior quote for the yearbook! The submission form will close at the end of the day Friday, so submit your quote ASAP! So far, only 81 quotes have been submitted out of 314 seniors photographed. In order for seniors to have quotes, we need a total of 214 quotes submitted! Quotes will ONLY be accepted using the Microsoft Forms link or QR Code which is posted on bulletin boards around school and on the school’s social media accounts.
Senior Superlative voting is also open for an additional three days, with the form closing at the end of the day Friday. Senior Superlatives are a fun way to celebrate members of your class, whether it be awarding them the best personality, most likely to survive the Hunger Games, or even being the most creative! We have 12 categories total but have received only 46 votes at this time, if we do not receive at least 150 votes, the yearbook will not feature superlatives this year.
Baby photos for the graduation ceremony are also being accepted at this time! Each graduating senior is permitted ONE baby photo and photos must be emailed to [email protected]. Please include the student’s first and last name in the subject line. You have until Friday, May 23rd to email in a photo. If you have any questions about quotes, superlatives, or baby photos, please see Mr. Thompson.
