Requirements for Yearbook Submissions SY2010-11

Kapaa High School Yearbook SY2010-11
The Yearbook showcases the graduating class by using extra pages to have larger
photos and additional items such as a baby photo, message, etc. Because it is a
senior showcase, we want you to look your best and require the following:

Photo size: 2 inches wide by 3 inches tall (wallet size)
***Head size: 3 cm diameter (approximately the size of a quarter)***
***Note: improper head size makes it difficult to properly crop your photo***

ATTIRE REQUIREMENTS: GENTLEMEN
Collared shirt or t-shirt
• NO visible logos
• NO hats

ATTIRE REQUIREMENTS: LADIES
Blouse or top: minimum of 2 inch wide straps
• NO spaghetti straps
• NO strapless
• NO visible bra straps or see through material
• NO cleavage

Failure to adhere to these requirements will result in the rejection of your photo for the yearbook!
If you are unsure of your clothing/pose, then it is probably unacceptable.

Training seems to be available for every vocation, task and practice these days from teacher to technician and from safety to sensitivity. But what about the ubiquitous job of parenting — perhaps the most important task we ever face?
For this we rely chiefly on memories of being parented ourselves. While there’s nothing like experience, parents who want to learn from the best, problem-solve or improve their approach, can find helpful instruction, idea and support books at their public library.

This week’s Book Buzz list features a variety of new parenting titles available with your Hawai‘i State Public Library card from your neighborhood library."
