Well, here’s your answer: introducing the NPA “Back in the Day” Yearbook. Each yearbook includes some of your
favorite teachers as they were in high school—hilarious stories, embarrassing moments, and awkward photos!
These yearbooks will be sold during lunch next week and this is a fundraiser for NPA technology (which we all
know NPA really needs!) Each book will be sold for $8, and you will receive one raffle ticket; however, if you
donate a total of $10, you will receive two raffle tickets. Prizes include gift cards to GameStop, Barnes and
Noble, Bath and Body Works, Wicked AZ, and Smashburger. Please support NPA technology and get your “Back
in the Day” Yearbook this week at lunch!
