8th Gr. - Yearbook Cover Design due to Ms. Gonzales (optional)

This year's theme will echo Father Matt's theme for our parish, "All through love." As eighth graders, you are all eligible to submit a yearbook cover design idea (even if you're not in yearbook club.) If you have an idea for a yearbook cover design, please draw and fully color your design on a sheet of computer paper and submit your cover to me by or on September 23rd. Make sure your cover design includes the theme (and the words "All Through Love"), and put your name on the back. (Your name should not appear in your design.) We will vote on a yearbook cover as a school during study hall/library in late September or early October.
