a positive place to be. some say that mandate might go a little too far. julie witty and amy rokowski are both teachers and they are yearbook advisors and join us live. good morning to you. good morning. so the idea is you wanted everybody to be pictured in the yearbook as much as possible, right? yes. everybody who wants to be in the yearbook and everybody who is involved in the school. it is a reflection of their year. and we tell their story. ok. so if somebody is on the swim team, the national honor society, deco, all that stuff, they re going to be represented in those club pictures. yes. what happens with we were talking during the break. i remember kids when i was growing up never really came into the school. they sat out in the car and smoked something so they would not be reflected in many pictures. right. and we understand that. we simply want to offer the opportunity to acknowledge as many students as we can. whether they re active in just the classroom or th
