YEARBOOK

COVER CONTEST!

 Penguin Painting

All Franconia students are invited to participate in our yearbook cover competition. Please use a white 8 x 11 sheet of paper and colored pencils. On the back of the paper, write your first and last name, teacher's name, and grade level. This year's yearbook theme is:

Penguins Today, Leaders Tomorrow

Your cover designs should be related to the theme. Please include Franconia Elementary 2025-2026 on the cover and remember to check your spelling!

Designs are due to Mrs. Yortzidis by Tuesday, January 27th

Things to Consider when designing:

  1. Draw your picture with a pencil first.
  2. When coloring, use colored pencils only.
  3. Your design should be Portrait view (not landscape)
  4. Remember to use color to really make your picture pop! (don’t have a lot of white space)
