From Crayons to College and Career!
Additionally in the display case, we are going to have a "template" for each staff member. See the sample picture below. To create your meet the teacher (or staff member) page, open the link below and add your information and photos/icons you'd like to add. Then SAVE your document with a NEW name. You may send your page by email to Desiree and we will print and display this along with your photos in our display case! Don't worry if the fonts aren't the same, as it depends what fonts are on your computer. We will make sure it looks great before printing!
