This exhausted Yearbook teacher owes MANY thanks to the village at SMS. Thanks to club sponsors, coaches, and teachers who welcomed the yearbook staff to take photos, conduct interviews, and sometimes even stage entire photo ops! We couldn't have done it without your support!

Thank you, Ginnie for keeping the library up and running so well while I was out sick, often without a sub to give you a break or support you in this huge room. Your dedication to our library patrons meant that everyone got to keep using our space to check out books, find a place to work and a place where they felt safe and seen. You do this every day, but it takes a lot more energy when it is on your shoulders alone. Thank you, Jen.
