Emma, Jacob, Joelle, and Regan hang up the weekly Yearbook Surveys in the school lobby. Every week they ask students to participate in surveys that will appear in the yearbook. These surveys include questions like, What’s your favorite past time?, What’s your favorite book series?, and What’s you favorite pizza topping? Students look forward to seeing what questions will be next. Great job yearbook staff!
