The Yearbook Club is collecting student responses for a new section in the yearbook called “Royal Reflections.” This feature gives every student the opportunity to be included in the yearbook other than their photo.

Students in grades 3–5 can respond to two prompts: “Year in One Word” and “Top Song of the Year.” Students in grades 6–12 can respond to five prompts: “Year in One Word,” “Top 5 Songs of the Year,” “Song That Describes the Year,” “Go-To Hype Song,” and “SPHS Hot Takes.”

All responses will be collected and may be featured in the yearbook. The top 20 “Hot Takes,” selected by a vote from the Yearbook Club, will be included as a special highlight.

Responses can be filled out online or on a paper form outside of Mrs. McRae’s door.
