Your donations that made this project happen for the Yearbook Team is truly a testament that we are all still a true community.\r\n\r\nThe iPad has allowed the team to create and design the yearbook more efficiently.

Although we said we'll use the iPad for design purposes, it has proven helpful beyond that. We use it for our photobooth fundraising initiatives and other activities that require more than just their Chromebook.\r\n\r\nAs I always say at the end of every project that gets fully funded, may you never tire of sharing and helping teachers like myself.
