A significant amount of activities that the yearbook staff typically covers for the yearbook will not happen this year or they will happen too late to submit before our yearbook deadline.
Our solution? Crowdsourcing to ensure a complete and accurate representation of our year.
Here's how it's going to work.
Twice a week I am going to Tweet a "picture challenge." Challenges will be Tweeted on Tuesdays and Fridays. We ask that you "accept the challenge" and e-mail your picture to pawprint@almasd.net along with a short caption telling us about the picture. (Remember, YOU must be in the picture for it to be useful to us).
EVERYONE (from freshmen to seniors) will have to participate for this to work! But I know we can do it! What memories we will have to share with our families years from now!
Look for our posts on Twitter.
Re-tweet it, share it to Instagram or Facebook, encourage your friends to participate, and of course, send in your pictures. A "Picture of the Week" will be chosen each week and that student will win a T-shirt from Airelooms. (thanks Ms. Siler!!!)
Thanks in advance for your participation!
