Michah Ellegood joined two of her classmates, Baylie Kelly and Sophia Bauer, along with instructor Holly Tittel, to talk about the GBMS yearbook, a new class that started last year.

The students learned how to use a camera and then they learned how to design a page, choose the cover, write photo captions, and meet deadlines. The yearbooks will be printed by Jostens, which works with the students throughout the process.

Bauer described how she and her partner had to contact Jostens for help troubleshooting the process of uploading content for the pages dedicated to cross country. “Bits and pieces of the spread we had already worked on disappeared,” she said. “We face-timed overnight and got it finished.”

Tittel said there was a lot to learn, especially for the first yearbook, but the students stepped up and finished the work on time, sending her an email after school when it was done. “They did a great job.”

The deadline for the 2023-2024 yearbook will be spring break and everything should be done by that time except for pages dedicated to spring sports. The yearbooks will be back from the printer before the end of the school year. They cost $30 each and last year’s edition sold out.
