Time Capsule Project for the Smith Yearbook
Memory from 2020 Project
This school year has definitely been one of a kind! There are some ups and downs and pros and cons- but we want your help to add personal touches to this year’s yearbook.
We are asking that students submit works of art to add to the yearbook to help capture memories of 2020. This art can be drawings, memes, graphics designs, or poems. We will choose some of these to use in the 2020-2021 yearbook.
Designs must be appropriate. Negative comments or wording will not be accepted.
Be creative!
Complete project using plain drawing paper (not bigger than 8.5 x 11)
Write your name and grade on the back of the project. If submitting via email make sure to add your name and grade level in the body of the email.
Submit your physical project to Mrs. Clark (Rm 59). You can also scan/ take a picture of your project and email to Mrs. Clark at ekclark@forneyisd.net . PLEASE MAKE SURE PHOTOS AND SCANS are clear, not blurry, and capture all of your work.
