After multiple deadlines throughout the school year, the yearbook staff finishes editing their final pages and sends them to JOSTENS, finishing the rest of the book.

“I hope that they realize that these deadlines are important because that’s a life skill,” yearbook advisor Erica Kincannon said. “I always say that no matter if you take Journalism, Newspaper or Yearbook, I hope that you learn life skills in these classes and I think that’s what these classes probably have taught them.”

Interview upon interview were recorded to finish up all the pages. They shipped on March 16, with hopes that the book will be in students’ hands by May.

“We made all our deadlines, if one person doesn’t do their job it really just affects all of us,” Editor-in-Chief Kendal Evans said. “I would say this last deadline is definitely more nerve wracking than the other ones though.” 

Once the submission is made, the staff plans to take a few days off and spend time with each other as a team and class again.

 “We’re going to take a few days, and they’re going to bring in food and play some games and remember what it’s like to have fun and be a team together again before we have to regroup and do it all over again for spring sports,” Kincannon said. 

The team has not had an unplug day since Valentine’s Day, the day before February break. Although this may be the last deadline to send pages to JOSTENS, the class still has to do spring sports after the last due date. 

“[We will] party, party, party! We’re going to get the class together and eat some food days and relax before we have to start up for spring sports,” Evans said. “We’re going to finally just soak up all our achievements for the year.”
