Ways to stay connected

1. Facebook
Facebook is a creative way to stay connected with your friends, whether they're graduates or incoming freshman you should friend them. So far this summer, I have friended mainstream students such as Gianna Canivez, from Photo II. I have had one yearbook staffers, Rachel Angulo friend requested me.

Part of my dialogue with Gianna
I am glad Ms. Lineberger had us work together during Art Show set-up. Was she an awesome teacher all year? I am glad I had her for Photo 1.

Great picture of you on the Photography colophon page in the yearbook!

Gianna said
Aww! I am glad to. She was a great teacher.


2. Chaparral Yearbook
Chaparral's yearbook serves as a great way to stay connected as many students and teachers sign it. Students often write their cell #'s and emails in the yearbook. For graduates, the yearbook serves as a memory of all their years at Chaparral.

3. Text messages or cell phone calls
Some students text message each other during summer break. Students arrange plans with their friends. Friends call each other as well.

4. Life Skills graduating seniors receive a book of pictures.
Our students and teachers sign an index card that goes in a book for the seniors that are leaving Chaparral's Life Skills department for good. Certain teachers write a message for their students who are leaving. Our Lookout Club president, Nick Hahne just graduated and we wrote messages for him.
