Kate McLaughlin is one of the teachers that take care of the Yearbook Club and is involved in creating the annual IMS Yearbook which she finishes in the span of a few months. Those in this club will help complete various tasks throughout the year so that the yearbook is ready by the end of the school year.
“I have been in the yearbook for 6 years,” McLaughlin said. She intends to continue her long year of her club.
She became the head of the Yearbook club because she likes taking pictures of fun activities the students do.
“I want to help run a club,” she said. She chose the yearbook club to help a fellow teacher in the club and when questioned on what other club would she have picked she said she would have done a sports club.
The club makes sure that the school has good candidates [candids] for 8th graders.
The yearbook club starts their hard work creating the yearbook at the beginning of the year so it could be ready for the end of April.
With hard work comes setbacks including with this club too. Mrs. McLaughlin said the most annoying thing in the yearbook daily activities would be finding pictures.
“Finding pictures of activities during school hours because I will be teaching [is the hardest part],” McLaughlin said.
McLaughlin spends her time in the yearbook club by taking pictures of students, staff and making sure that the student’s names are spelled correctly.
The club is a high privilege you need to be in the 8th grade if you want to join. For students you can help take pictures of events at the school during or after school hours.
