Yearbook staff members (from left to right) Chris Thompson, Braxton Steed, Candice Lee, and Jordyn Jones work on a poster advertising the Yearbook Cover Contest.

This year, the yearbook staff at Mapleton Junior High let the student body vote on what theme they would like for this year’s yearbook. The three top rated themes that the student body voted on are “Transformers,” “Life is too short to be ordinary,” and “Pony pride all the way.” The yearbook staff decided to go with three themes to choose from because they were worried that students misunderstood the winning “transformers” theme. The staff wanted students to think about how they can “transform” the world into a better place, not just copy the popular movie. With the themes now chosen, the yearbook staff is holding their annual Yearbook Cover Contest.

The contest is from September 21st through October 2nd. All students can enter for a chance to win $20. Students choose one of the three themes and will design full color entries based on the theme of their choice. After all entries are turned in, the student body will vote on the cover they like best. This contest is a great way for students to express themselves individually, and the yearbook staff is excited to see what Mapleton Junior High’s students come up with for this year’s yearbook.
