Reflections Yearbook
Yearbook is an application based class that meets during one hour each day. As part of OT Publications, students will work daily on creating OT's Reflection yearbook that will be distributed in May. The Reflections yearbook has been an OT publication since 1977 when Oregon Trail first opened. This class uses a web-based program made by Balfour Publishing to create their yearbook.
Applications to be part of the Reflections staff will be available starting at the end of February.
Students can pre-order their yearbook on-line at the InTouch website, or by visiting the office. We will have limited books for sale cash and carry after distribution.
