May 26 - Yearbook Day

Bring a good pen for signing, and plan ahead how you will sign. 

Put your name in the front of your yearbook!

• Don't write anything you will regret later. 
• Don't cross out or draw on anyone's photo.  You would regret that later, too. 

Pick up and take any of your own composition book, posters, or other work you wish to take. Everything else will go to recycling.
