We would like to collect a variety of pictures from science, math, reading, history, writing, art, music, physical education, cooking, sewing, engineering, farming, etc. We need quality pictures clearly showing the activity and child that would be yearbook appropriate. Please do not send more than two pictures per child. Not all of the pictures will make it into the yearbook, but we would appreciate a variety of options from all grade levels. Pictures may be sent to lisal@bakersfield.k12.mo.us. The deadline for pictures is May 19, 2020. Thank you!
