IMPORTANT YEARBOOK ANNOUNCEMENT

Students and Parents: We discovered a missing page in the Sophomore section of the yearbook. We have printed copies of the missing page with an adhesive strip on the back so the page can be added into the yearbook in the correct location. Copies are available to all students and can be picked up during lunches at the distribution tables or in room 1866. We would ask you to trust that omitting any students' photo from the yearbook was not on purpose. Unfortunately mistakes happen, we understand words aren't enough to make up for this huge blunder, but we, the yearbook staff and Adviser, offer our sincerest apologies for this inconvenience.
