Yearbook, Earth Day, Camps & Gratitude.....Sounds like Spring!

It's yearbook time! A great way to contribute to our community is by submitting a photo or two of your kiddo(s). Send an email to yearbook1@qaeptsa.org. Please include your child's name, grade, teacher and VOPP/In-Person in your email and make the subject line, "2022-23 Yearbook." Not sure what kind of pics would work? Think about QAE's 5 Pillars. You probably have more photos then you think of your kiddo sharing school art creations or a piece of writing, math solving they're proud of. Maybe you caught a pic of them in some spirit wear. Thanks to volunteer Tiffany Robinson, our yearbook lead, all students will have this QAE keepsake.
