Chief Editor Dayanara Moreno says, “Typically in prior years it’s always been seniors first and then every other grade on the following Monday. For sure seniors will get theirs on the 27th of May and underclassmen will for sure get theirs on the 31st of May” 

Araya Reed, Design Editor is ready for the craziness to commence. “I think the upcoming distribution is going to be a little hectic and overwhelming, but I think we’ll get through it.”

Yearbook advisor Mike DeCicco reflected on teaching his first yearbook class at Bear River.

“They’ve had really good books here and there are expectations and I think these guys came through, especially Dayanara as the editor,” DeCicco said. “he was a great leader and I think we have a really good book this year.”

Reed had lots of memorable moments this year.

“My favorite part about yearbook was being able to design everything. I’m a pretty picky person, so I was excited I got to make it how I wanted it to be,” Reed explained.

Reed added, ”I really loved the time we got to smash through piñatas because we finished the yearbook.”

Kirsten Briscoe liked all the work and fun that went into the yearbook.

“I thought it was fun,” Briscoe said. “I enjoyed going in every morning. I liked pulling people out of classes and interviewing them and taking pictures of them.”

“I really loved watching the enthusiasm they had for each other and the project,” DeCicco esplained. “They worked really hard and it was just this really positive experience.”
