YERDS (Yearbook Nerds) Unite!

My Students

Yearbook students are literally the best students in the world. They will do anything that the school asks of them to the very best of their ability. They are eager to promote activities within the school and share the stories that take place within our school each year. This excited bunch of kids deserves a trained teacher who can, in turn, train them! The better the yearbook is, the more our high school shines and reflects our awesome OR community!

My Project

We will use a new software called Encore! this coming school year to create the high school yearbook. I need training in it and photoshop so that I can teach my students how to use both of these programs effectively so that our yearbook can become an award winner again. As we are not allowed to use yearbook sales to fund travel, I need help with the costs of this trip. I have fully committed to yearbook and spent my own money on this awesome group of kids many times in the past two years. Now I need your help!
