Arrow Yearbook Club
On Tuesday, September 20th the 2023 Arrow Yearbook staff took to the streets of Ridgewood Village in order to seek out business support. Students canvased every area of downtown. Each student worked to exude confidence and find comfort in talking with business people. Prior to going, students participated in role playing activities to hone their skills and find comfort in the unexpected. Veteran staff members helped coach new staff throughout the process. The day was an overall success as we received six checks so far...
