Yearbook Final Sales and Distribution
Yearbook students had the opportunity to build strong organizational and leadership skills by planning and executing Yearbook Distribution Day.
They created detailed schedules, set up distribution stations, labeled and sorted books by grade and coordinated the process ran smoothly.
Through careful planning and teamwork, they made sure every student received the correct yearbook quickly and efficiently.
This hands-on experience taught them the importance of preparation, clear communication, and time management—all essential skills they can carry into future academic and professional settings.
APRIL
Yearbook Cost of Production Vs Revenue/Profit
In Yearbook class, students gained valuable real-world experience by learning about the financial aspects of producing our school’s yearbook. They explored the relationship between production costs, revenue, and profit, applying basic business and budgeting principles throughout the process. Students learned how to balance creativity with financial responsibility. This hands-on experience not only helped them understand the true cost of producing a quality yearbook, but also taught important skills in entrepreneurship, decision-making, and teamwork.
MARCH
Portrait Photography School Display
The yearbook was finalized and submitted for printing on March 1st. Right after passing that deadline, the students embarked in a process to create portrait, artistic, and professional-looking form of photography.

DECEMBER
First Yearbook Pages Submitted for Printing
Before the Christmas break, each student in the Yearbook class completed the design of at least three pages from the different sections of the yearbook. It was the most challenging time of all. While designing can be a fun-free spirit time for most, standards of quality set up by Jostens challenged the students to give their best, embrace corrections and advice, edit their work as many times as needed, and do the final touching to make everything look great.

The students are learning to interact in a professional level with their teachers and peers.
