Welcome to Selkirk!
Yearbook team: Capturing and Celebrating a Year of Firsts
Students In Mrs. Holm's Media Class are learning important life and career skills as they work together to commemorate our first year as Selkirk Wolves. Here are a few things they are diligently working towards:
- Gaining proficiency in desktop publishing.
- Incorporating advanced design principles such as grid design and use of layered coverage into the yearbook.
- Learning and using journalistic writing techniques.
- Developing student leadership and decision-making skills.
- Finding ways to include every student and staff member in the yearbook.
- Creating and executing marketing plans to sell the yearbook.
- And most importantly, producing a yearbook the school staff, students and the community can enjoy!
