Yearbook Club News
The Yearbook committee is hard at work to create an amazing yearbook for the 2021/2022 school year. We are asking for your help to achieve this by sending us a picture of your student for our class pages.
We are also looking for pictures of students participating in Clubs, Synergy Sessions, Hybrid, Re-Fuel, Capstone Trips, ODC, Tech Center and Community Passport activities.
We are asking that all class page photos be headshots with plain backgrounds. All class photo pictures must be sent in by Feb. 28. If pictures are not sent in, we can use the portal picture.
Please let us know if a student does not want to be included in the yearbook. Please send pictures to icademyyearbookclub@gmail.com.
Thanks!
