I joined Tattler my junior year because I got asked to join by some of the staff members. Being a part of the staff is awesome. The Tattler class is not just a class, but it’s more like a second family. The staff is a great influence. Everyone helps everyone out. There is never a dull moment.

My role as part of the Tattler is being in charge of the Century Career Center spread, and also, I am in charge of the grocery list.

My favorite part of Tattler is definitely our field trips. When going on field trips, we really get to learn more about each other, and that is when we put our work aside and just get to enjoy each other’s company.

When did you join Tattler? How has it influenced you?

I joined Tattler as a junior, and it was the best decision I’ve ever made. I always loved the idea of helping with the yearbook, so I talked to teachers and joined Tattler.

What is your role on the team?

My role on the Tattler staff is ads for the yearbook. I contact the businesses that bought an ad, get their photos or business cards and add them to the yearbook. That is mainly my daily life in the Tattler room, also. I will leave the class to make phone calls and set up times and dates to get their photo taken for the ad. If I’m not making a phone call, I am adding their business photos that I already took to the yearbook ad page. 

What is daily life like in the Tattler room?

I always get so happy when I walk into the Tattler room. No matter how bad my day is, the staff always puts a smile on my face, and I’m very grateful for every single member apart of Tattler. 

What is your favorite part of Tattler?

My favorite part of Tattler is the bond we all have together and taking pictures of school events like sports, clubs and activities during the school year. As a senior, leaving the Tattler staff will be the hardest part of graduation. If you ever think about being on staff, join. You won’t regret a thing.

What is going on in Tattler right now?

Now that the first part of the book is done, we all look through it and check if names are spelled right, grammar check, if pictures look good, etc. Once the book has been checked by every staff member, Mrs. Myers will also go through it with us. Once it’s all done, Mrs. Myers will send the pages to Jostens. Now, since we turned it in, it doesn’t mean the yearbook is done just yet. We go and take photos of Spring sports and activities that happen during springtime. We call this the supplement. It gets sent in, and we add them to the back of the yearbook to make it completed. Then, when we get them all in, we check them to make sure they look good to add to the supplements and start handing them out in May.
