♥ "This is my first year as a yearbook advisor for my school's middle school yearbook. This resource has saved me so much time when planning and organizing the yearbook class. Prior to buying this resource, I had no idea how to design a yearbook curriculum. I now have a clear vision on what the yearbook process looks like. This resource is well organized and will be easy to implement with my 8th grade class. It was easy to modify the lessons and resources so that they are applicable to my middle school students."
