Yearbook Photo Challenge
This year, the Yearbook Team is challenged with putting together a yearbook while not being on campus. We've been giving a lot of thought about the best way to do this and have come up with a fun idea. Photo and story challenges! Here's how it will work:
- Check the weekly update, Instagram, and Facebook for challenges - new challenges will be posted often.
- Send in your contributions by:
- Upload your photos directly to our yearbook program VO Yearbook Photos
- OR Email your photos to amy.morganstein@vistaoaks.net
Here is the best part - The more you contribute, the more you will be featured in the yearbook. This yearbook could potentially be filled with your photos! Every challenge will be a yearbook layout. Be creative and have fun! When the yearbook is done, it will be filled with fun memories from this interesting time of Distance Learning.
Yearbooks will be for sale through May 20 and come with 4 free personal pages. Purchase your yearbook here: VO Yearbook Store
Here's Your Next Challenge:
FEBRUARY NATIONAL DAYS: Send in a photo of you doing something fun on these silly holidays!
- 2/6 National Eat Ice Cream for Breakfast Day
- 2/28 - National Public Sleeping Day
Distance Learning
We'd love to see pictures and videos of you learning from home!
