Yearbook crew takes reins at SHS

Sisters High School has a new yearbook team. This year, three seniors, two juniors and one sophomore joined the yearbook crew under the advisement of Jim Cornelius and Jerry Baldock.

The crew includes Danika Wagner, Maggie Bidasolo, Isaak Kanzig, Annika Stadeli, Ceili Cornelius and Cassidy Ling-Scott.

The yearbook has seen dwindling numbers of participants, in part due to a lack of a dedicated class period to produce it. This year a group of students decided to change that and create a fresh new, well-organized yearbook crew.

"In past years the yearbook has been a rushed process, and we wanted to change that, we want to make the yearbook better than ever," said Ceili Cornelius.

"I joined yearbook because I wanted to be involved in what students would keep for many years to come," said Cassidy Ling-Scott. "I want to make something that really shows how Sisters High School is for students so that they themselves can remember their high school years. I'm so excited for how this will turn out; we have such a great team."

The crew meets on their own time and have already begun work on production of the yearbook. They are reaping some educational benefits, as well as producing a lasting memento for their classmates.

"Yearbook has put my communication and creativity skills to the test. I'm really excited to watch the rest of the year unfold," said staff member Maggie Bidasolo.

The staff meets every Wednesday morning before school. Each person has assignments to fulfill each week which keeps the book moving along at a steady pace.

Longtime yearbook organizer Danika Wagner said: "It's been a blessing to have a group of people passionate about the yearbook; it really makes everything easier knowing that there are others helping. I'm excited to see the finished product. I think it'll be the best one yet!"
