NOTES Taking Forms

I'm excited about these new notes forms I made up today. They should help kids keep track of things that we learn about in my classes.These are based on the Cornell notes taking system which is pretty renown for being very effective. I usually have chapter-specific notes outlines that I use in Civics, but highly motivated and college-bound or TAG students may want to try these as an alternative. Making them available might also be a useful option for when you're absent.

• Art History Worksheet for MS8 Art, Drawing, Painting, Ceramics, & Photography

So you like writing? You're pretty good at it? Behrendt's, Johnson's, and McQueen's are some of your FAVORITE classes? Then why aren't you taking YEARBOOK, for crying out loud?! Captions and Headlines are important writing and we'd be happy to let you write more if you want to.

CLOSET COPY-EDITORS
You say people call you a "Grammar NAZI?" You say you're always catching your TEACHERS' spelling mistakes? Please, let us help you channel your powers for good, rather than evil. Talk to Mr. Marlin about joining YEARBOOK.

Have you had (or are you now in) Business, Entrepreneurship, Accounting, Marketing, or Sales & Merchandising with Hanigan? Then for God sakes, take YEARBOOK- apply your skills to a GREAT product. We need your mad schmoozing skills!

ASPIRING GRAPHIC DESIGNERS
Did you take Digital Imaging (the Voice newspaper) with Mrs. Hanigan? Then why not take YEARBOOK? We need people who know their way around a layout.

SHOOTERS
Did you take Digital Photography? Why not take YEARBOOK! We need great photographers!

SENIORS
So you're a Senior and you think you want to use "early release" to leave 7th hour even though you don't have a job. Do you REALLY want to trust the Yearbook for YOUR SENIOR YEAR to a bunch of 9th-11th graders? Come on, do your part, step up and lead. And leave your mark.

• REAL WORLD JOB & TECHNOLOGY SKILLS
• BEING PART OF OVER 90 YEARS OF TRADITION
• CAPTURING THE YEAR AS YOU SEE IT

Talk to Mr. Marlin about taking YEARBOOK this week. Mr.Mallory will be waiting.

Advertise in the BV Yearbook

Support Your Local Yearbook; Show Everyone How Important BV Students Are To You 

Placing an ad in the yearbook shows that you invest in preserving those memories and supporting our community.

At Boyer Valley, Students on the Yearbook Staff sell ads, sell pre-orders for books, take pictures,write captions, and design layouts. They do it all. It's an opportunity to gain a variety of vocational skills, from communication, interaction, and cooperation, to design and applying technology.
Advertising in the yearbook is investing directly in practical, real-word education and training for our youth.

It’s not just a matter of making money to cover our costs, it’s part of having school spirit, school pride, and a a sense of inclusion, identity and community. Let’s raise a purple tide of bulldog pride. Let’s start by making yearbooks a “given” again, a ubiquitous part of our school culture Maybe next we can bring back letterman jackets and pennants! Why not?

It all starts with you
Buying a yearbook ad is a permanent way of showing that your business is a part of kid's lives. Games, parades, pep rallies, concerts, dances, and banquets- Make sure people know that you were part of Bulldogs' year.
