Yearbook

Course Overview

It is our job to record the history of our school this year. Or, more importantly, to record what God is doing in and through us this year. We will attend lots of events and take lots of pictures. We will learn Photoshop and InDesign so that we can form a layout. We will inadvertantly learn about pressure and time deadlines, and about equipment that does not always work. In the process, we will become a team that works well together and relies on each other to accomplish a goal. Like it or not, this is one class where the whole school sees how well we have done.
