Just a reminder, we encourage everyone to take part in supporting Mariah by learning more about her&nbsp;and committing to perform community service hours to raise money in partnership with many local sponsors. Below, you will find links that share Mariah&#8217;s story, a video from&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sparrowclubs.org\/\">Sparrow Clubs USA<\/a>&nbsp;with even more information on Mariah and how we can all serve others to ultimately serve Our Brave Warrior!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/10KmKbFWfUH6OHYpWA-97V3Z01BYQ-VO1\/view?usp=sharing\" target=\"_blank\">Mariah&#8217;s Story<\/a> (a &#8220;quick glimpse flyer&#8221; about Mariah&#8217;s young life)<\/li><li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=2i6vfbS4RdM\" target=\"_blank\">Mariah&#8217;s Intro Video &amp; Voucher Process<\/a> (powerful and moving video)<\/li><li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/forms.gle\/P5Xh6LDKisRvxfxX7\" target=\"_blank\">Mariah&#8217;s Community Service Voucher<\/a> (click this link for Google Form to log service hours)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Yearbook Sales<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shannon Cramer, our Art teacher, is heading up this year&#8217;s yearbook and is working with a small group of students who will help design the book. We have placed our order with the yearbook publisher base on the number of  YTD sales. Each year, students get their yearbooks the last day of school. Inevitably, our main office is flooded with calls on the last day asking if we have extras available for purchase because students see their friends&#8217; yearbook and regret not purchasing one. You can continue to purchase books online via <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/touchbase.bend.k12.or.us\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/touchbase.bend.k12.or.us\/\" target=\"_blank\">TouchBase<\/a> until we are sold out.
