Volunteers Needed for Yearbook!

Our yearbook team is gearing up to create something truly special this year—but we can’t do it alone. We’re looking for a few creative volunteers to help us capture the school year by taking photos at events and sorting images for the yearbook.


If you’re interested or curious, I'd love to hear from you. Come help us make something our students will treasure for years to come! Contact me at mslaker@everettsd.org or stop by the PGS Office.
