7-12 graders: the Beaverton High School Yearbook staff needs your help! We are continuing to create a yearbook that reflects your school year and need help covering this time period! We are looking for students willing to be interviewed via phone or email for a story or personal profile in the yearbook, especially regarding these subjects: --Spring sports (Track, baseball, softball, etc--if you've played in the past or were planning to) --Academics (What have you learned in one of your classes this year that has impacted you?) --COVID-19 Quarantine stories (This is a historic moment in time--how are you spending your time at home while school is closed?) NOTE: We also need school appropriate photos of you doing these activities or just chilling! --Cool hobbies, interests, or experiences of yours from this year (they don't have to be about school) Contact STELLA GOVITZ, the Kaleidoscope Feature Editor, with your experiences! She can be reached on social media or skgovitz@stu.beavertonruralschools.com
