Transcript 8th Grade Yearbook Project - St. Joseph Catholic School, Ost

8th Grade Yearbook Project
• You are to create a memory book of your grade
school years. It does not matter if you have
attended other schools before St. Joe; they are
part of your experience and should be recorded.
This project will require some help from family
members as you will need old pictures and
memorabilia. Please ask before you take. The
due date for this project will be May 19th.
Equipment
• You may use a scrapbook, photo album, hardcover new
notebook, or heavy construction paper for this project.

caption.

End Notes
I will grade your scrapbooks as quickly as
possible. We will schedule a day when you
can share them with the class. Once I have
the scrapbooks graded and passed back, you
must take it home. Any left at school will be
turned in to the office. If they have not been
claimed by the end of the summer, they will
be thrown away. Don’t let your hard work
and memories become trash.
Be responsible!
