You must be very PASSIONATE about yearbook
to choose it as an elective (or co-curricular) class.
Yearbook is, indeed, an exciting and fun course,
and I look forward to working with you
all throughout the upcoming year.
However, yearbook is also very challenging and
requires a lot of TIME and COMMITMENT:
after school work (for which you get Community Service
hours) is a requirement to meet deadlines.
In this class, you will learn about page layout and design,
publishing, journalism, photography, and business skills.
Being a member of the staff is a huge RESPONSIBILITY,
but by the end of the year, you will have produced a book
that is valued by the students, faculty,
and the whole community.
You will derive an incredible sense of accomplishment;
YOU WILL JUST BE PROUD OF YOURSELF!

- To laugh often and much; 
- To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; 
     - To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; 
- To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; 
- To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, 
a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition;

This is to have succeeded!

Don't aim for success if you want it; just do what you love and believe in, 
and it will come naturally.
