Dear Parents and Student:
Being a part of the yearbook staff is an honor for which many students have applied. Because it is an honor, only the best of the best will be chosen. I hope that you will seriously consider becoming part of one of the most rewarding organizations at Brookwood.
All applications must be complete and received by 7:30AM on February 16, 2015. No incomplete or late applications will be considered. The size of the staff must be limited; therefore, all yearbook staff members must meet certain criteria. Each staff member must:
- Have earned a 90 or above in yearbook (if already on staff)
- Completed and returned this form (complete with parent signatures)
- Have the recommendation forms from all of his/her current teachers (not guided study teachers)
- Have the completed application attached to this packet
- Be willing to go the extra mile for each and every deadline
On February 16th during your 7th period class, you will be notified as to whether or not you have made the yearbook staff. If you are chosen as part of the 2015-2016 staff, please stop by room A23 during the week of registration in order to register for yearbook.
I appreciate your interest in the yearbook, and I look forward to choosing an excellent 2015-2016 Brookwood Cayuse staff.
Sincerely,
Holly Chatham
Yearbook Adviser
