Yearbook Cover Design Contest

Attention 8th Graders:  The Yearbook Staff is hosting a contest to design this year's yearbook cover.  Any 8th graders may enter a design.  This year's theme is "Time to Rewind."  These are the requirements:

     - 8 1/2 x 11" sheet of plain paper, any color (no lined or graph paper)
     - You may use any materials/medium (marker, colored pencil, computer, etc.)
     - The school name and year will be added in afterward - please do not include them in your design, but consider leaving space for this text.
     - Do NOT put your name on the front of your drawing/design. (Please put it on the back.)
     - The design or drawing must be school appropriate and should reflect the theme or our school.

The deadline is Friday, January 27th.  Please give submissions to Ms. Maguire in Dynamic Design.  The Yearbook Committee will announce the winner(s) after the deadline - We hope to have many entries to choose from!



News from Dynamic Design



Dynamic Design continues our stewardship effort of sustainable fundraising for St. Albans City School.  We just sent out our second shipment of Box Tops for Education collected by the school community. This shipment alone was equal to $541.50. We are now over a total of $1000.00 for our school, and we are only halfway through the year!  Also, keep your eyes peeled for more details about a February Box Top contest for homerooms, with a prize for the winning homeroom.  Keep up the great work and send in the Box Tops for Education found on products in your home!

We are also collecting and submitting Labels for Education.  Please note: Make sure you are cutting out the entire label with the bar code on Labels for Education - the portion to clip is usually surrounded by a dotted line.  Thanks!
