Yearbook Excellence
Yearbook students Mia Brofferio '20, Lauren Diaz '20, and Sarah Jennings '22 were at a 4-day workshop with close to 200 students from 45 different schools. The girls worked incredibly hard over the past week on their yearbook project.
Mia, Lauren and Sarah were nominated by their instructors to receive an award for Yearbook Excellence (only 7 other students received individual awards). They also received an honorable mention (2nd place) for their theme project in their high school group.
Their work will come to life in the yearbook for all students to keep for decades to come!
