Part of The Bird on Fire’s What’s in the News

By 8th Grade Blogger Max Pretorius

Yearbooks are something that every school has. They are important parts of American school culture. Yearbooks are books made by a group of students meant to capture the people, events, and activities that happen throughout the year. As described by Editor In Chief Olivia Puetz, “The yearbook is full of fun memories.” Zoey Guess, a part of the yearbook staff, also describes the yearbook as being “a whole-year photo dump.” You can now buy this amazing Palm Valley School yearbook for only $95! You can buy the yearbook here or at the front office.

Yearbook Staff

The yearbook has plenty of staff–tireless students and teachers working hard on the yearbook. There are four teachers that have worked on the yearbook: Mr. Gil, Mr. Jue, Mrs. Nayfack, and Mrs. Torres. In addition, there are also many students who work on the yearbook, taking photos and writing: Calum Webster, Jaxon Pacilio, Ivana Vega, Ryder Gardner, Zoey Guess, Olivia Puetz, Rylie Conway, Peter Collier, Sami Alnabelsi, and Chase Krein. Rylie Conway made the illustrations, and Olivia Puetz is the Editor in Chief.

Specialty Pages

The yearbook has a total of 172 pages, many of which are specialty pages. Most of the specialty pages are for the grades going up to the next big step–these being the 5th grade going to middle school, the 8th grade going to high school, and the seniors going to college. These pages have some extra things related to that grade; for example, the 8th grade has a page with our baby pictures. It’s an extra special book for those classes promoting to a new level. So, if you’re in 5th grade, 8th grade, or are a senior, now is the best time to buy a yearbook.
