2. YEARBOOK COVER ART CALL: We are collecting as many student self-portraits as possible for the yearbook cover. It would be great if they could be drawn on 3x5 or 4x6 paper for scanning purposes, mainly face ones (no full body). Use school colors (blue & yellow) if possible; not mandatory. They will be assembled into an awesome collage. Email digitally to lindapcleary@gmail.com or drop off drawings to the front office.
3. YEARBOOK KEF CLASS PHOTOS: Looking for KEF Class Yearbook Pictures - if you are volunteering in a KEF Class, please snap a few photos and submit them to either your yearbook room parent or to Linda Cleary <lindapcleary@gmail.com>, our yearbook coordinator. We need all pictures by April 15. Thanks!
