The week of September 11, a week spent reflecting, remembering and honoring the sacrifice of many Americans on that fated day, the Weisenborn community decided to embody that sense of community by fighting together for a greater cause. The Weisenborn Chapter of National Junior Honor Society sponsored a penny drive for 4 Paws for Ability.

Students were asked to open their hearts and donate to an organization whose sole purpose is to train animals to help people — help people with visual impairments, those struggling with anxiety, those living with a chronic illness or medical issue, to support a child with autism and more.

For five days, our students gave. They started with pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters, which evolved to dollar bills, five-dollar bills, tens, and twenties. Our students were excited to help, to give and to make a difference.

They understood something that many people struggle to comprehend: empathy, one of the components of our Portrait of a Warrior. Our stars, our WARRIORS, these are the ones who gave $765.76 to a cause.

As a reward for a job well done, our 950 warriors were given an opportunity by 4 Paws to meet the dogs that were being trained to help. Our Weisenborn students truly showed what it means to be a Warrior: to see the needs of others and be moved to fight for them.

Submission Process

Email your photo to WHS.Yearbook@myhhcs.org

1. Receive a confirmation email from the WHS yearbook upon receipt of your photograph when from a photographer other than Expressions. We do NOT send confirmation when photos from Expressions are received, as they are ALL sent in one file at the same time once Expressions has finished editing.

2. The WHS Yearbook Staff reviews your photo to make sure it fits the above requirements.

   1. IF YOUR PHOTO IS ACCEPTED, you will not receive any communication beyond the initial confirmation email (most submitted photos are accepted).

      • We check photos, at minimum, once per week. 

   2. IF YOUR PHOTO IS REJECTED, you will receive an email stating the reason for rejection. If you would like to resubmit, please select a new photograph that meets the requirements, and email the new photograph within one week of receipt of a rejection email.

   3. LATE SUBMISSIONS have a small chance of being included in the book, but there is no guarantee. If they are able to be included, they may not be in alphabetical order.

NOTE: we are NOT RESPONSIBLE for printing photos we don't receive! If you do not receive a confirmation email, contact the adviser. If you did not receive a confirmation email, then we DID NOT receive your picture. Please resubmit or email the yearbook adviser at WHS.yearbook@myhhcs.org only.

OTHER NOTES:

• Do not resize a low-resolution image to meet the minimum size requirements. Pixelated images will be rejected.

• Outdoor backgrounds can be used, but are not suggested unless used by a professional photographer.

• Some cropping may occur.

• There should be no special filters or graphics added to the photograph.

• There should be no props in the photograph.

• Avoid putting hands near the face (leaning on fist, hand in hair, etc.). 

• Photos with hand gestures will be rejected.

• Full body photos are not recommended because your image will be very small.

• Yearbook does not resize your photos. The image received is uploaded to our software as is and may be automatically cropped by our software. We are unable to adjust it.
