Due Dates, page layouts, taking and cropping photos, writing captions, and honing your creativity--these are the essence of Yearbook. This year you will produce a publication that will be purchased by and delivered to around 650 readers. Not only do your classmates sign these books in memory of their junior high years, but they treasure the books for the rest of their lives. We have a big responsibility to them. This is all possible when we, the Yearbook staff, work together as a team and apply the many journalistic skills you will learn. Your success will commemorate and celebrate the fabulous thirteen years of Bulldog history. "Woof!"
