Fall Sports Photo Grades

This season, Boyer Valley has...

• 10 different sports teams including both ms & hs
• at least 66 sporting events
• 10 Yearbook staff members

Yet year after year we fail to get enough sports pictures- especially for middle school. Therefore, this year each staff member will have two grades for sports pictures first quarter. Please turn in at least a minimum of 20 pictures, 10 each for one of two sporting events, preferably of different sports. For example, 10 of a MS Volleyball game and 10 of a Cross Country meet.

Mr. Mallory can easily take Football and Cheer, but we need Volleyball, MS Volleyball, XC and Drill. You can certainly turn in pictures of practices as well and if you take pictures at 3 or more events, anything beyond the first two will be extra-credit.

Sports include:

• Varsity Football
• 9/JV Football
• MS Football
• Varsity Volleyball
• 9/JV Volleyball
• HS Cross Country
• MS Cross Country
• Fall Varsity Cheerleading
• Fall MS Cheerleading
• Drill Squad

You may also fulfill either of these two assignments by bringing in Softball or Baseball pictures from this past summer.

It would be better if you took these pictures yourself, however, if you have difficulty with scheduling conflicts, parental permission, or transportation issues- you may ask someone to take the pictures for you. Please let us know who they are so that we can give you grade credit, but give them credit for any pictures used in the yearbook, Voice, Reporter, or school website.

There will be similar yearbook sports-photo assignments each quarter as part of your grade so that we can get pictures from other seasons.
