It’s almost time for Yearbook Distribution Day!  This year, in preparation for distribution, the yearbook staff will be offering students the opportunity to make their graduating class the first to receive yearbooks that day.  From May 7-11, yearbook staffers will be collecting spare change during lunch at the top of the cafeteria.  One collection jar will be for the Senior and Junior classes, and the other jar will be for the Sophomore and Freshman classes.  At the end of the week, whichever pair of classes have the highest total dollar amount collected will be the class released during Assembly A on distribution day and will, therefore, be the first classes to receive their yearbooks and have the longest amount of time to sign on Distribution Day.  Keep an eye out for this contest!
