PTA Committee Highlight - Yearbook Each year the Patton PTA creates a yearbook for purchase to allow the students to keep their memories in a time capsule. The Yearbook Chairperson needs to be organized and creative (well, at least somewhat). Nearly 600 candid pictures are needed to complete the yearbook, therefore the Chairperson relies heavily on everyone at Patton to provide pictures throughout the year. The software used to create the yearbook is easy to use and is intuitive to anyone who creates the yearbook. Creating the yearbook does require some time to do it right, but it is enjoyable in many ways to put together and see the end result. In addition, the Yearbook Chairperson is responsible for all the school picture days, especially since half the yearbook is class composite photos. The other picture days are Club/5th grade graduation photo day as well as Spring photo day where full class pictures are taken outside. At the end of next school year, we will be looking for someone to shadow the current Yearbook Chairperson during the 17-18 school year to then take over for the 18-19 school year. If you are interested in this position, please email [email protected] to let us know.
