![A vibrant and engaging promotional flyer for "Fenton Area Public Schools" summer camp, designed to attract incoming 5th through 8th-grade students. The flyer features a collage of images and text elements against a bright, slightly textured background with playful orange doodles and circular accents. The central headline in large, bold, orange, slightly stylized font reads: "Join Us for Unforgettable SUMMER CAMP ADVENTURES!" Below this, in a slightly smaller, solid orange banner, it says "ALL SUMMER LONG." Surrounding the headline are several inset photographs and text blocks. At the top, a dynamic shot shows four smiling children looking down at the viewer from above. The child on the left has light skin and long, wavy blonde hair. Next to them is a child with medium skin tone and short dark hair. Across the top is a child with light skin and short brown hair, wearing a blue and white plaid shirt. To their left is a child with light skin and shoulder-length light brown hair. This image conveys a sense of fun and youthful energy. To the left of the main headline is a smaller rectangular photo showcasing a black and white ping pong paddle and three orange ping pong balls on a light-colored surface. An orange speech bubble with a white border points to this image and contains the white text: "Incoming 5th - 8th Grade options". Below the ping pong image is a text block that lists some of the camp activities: "Everything from Cooking or Sports. Theater or STEAM. Pickleball or 3D Printing... There's Something for EVERYONE!!!" This text is in a clear, sans-serif font. Contact information for "Information" is provided below this in a smaller font, including a phone number "810-591-2440" and an email address "[email address removed]". To the right of the main headline is another rectangular photo featuring a group of middle-school-aged children engaged in a hands-on activity. Four students are visible, appearing to work together on a project. One student on the left has light skin and dark hair, looking down at something in front of them. Next to them is a student with medium skin tone and dark hair, also looking down. Behind them is a student with light skin and light brown hair looking towards the right. In the background, partially visible, is another student with light skin and dark hair. This image suggests collaborative learning and engagement. Below this group photo is another rectangular image displaying a teal-colored futuristic car model created by a 3D printer, along with a white pen and what appears to be the 3D printing device in the background. This highlights the STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) aspect of the camp. To the right of these images is a "WHERE:" section, indicating the location as "Fenton High School" at "3200 W. Shiawassee Ave. Fenton, MI 48430". At the bottom center of the flyer is a QR code and text that reads "Register at tinyurl.com/FentonSummerCamp". The "Fenton Area Public Schools" logo, featuring a stylized orange "F" with a paw print detail, is located in the upper left corner of the flyer. A smaller version of the logo is also present above the group photo. Overall, the flyer uses bright colors, engaging images, and clear text to communicate the exciting opportunities available at the Fenton Area Public Schools summer camp for incoming 5th through 8th graders.](https://cdn.smore.com/u/thumbs/591a/thumb-1fdb091939dd1ea453f4ab198ac4dd4b.png "A vibrant and engaging promotional flyer for \"Fenton Area Public Schools\" summer camp, designed to attract incoming 5th through 8th-grade students.

Below is the code to join PhotoCircle. You'll want to download the app & then request to join the group for this year's yearbook album where you may submit photos to be considered. The link is also posted in the comments for those who have issues with the posted link below.
Submission Guidelines: Please only add photos of AGS events, sports & activities. Please add a caption to each picture with a short description of what the picture is of & who the students are in the picture. PLEASE DO NOT ADD NON-AGS RELATED SPORTS & ACTIVITIES TO THE ALBUM.
