Students from the Palmdale Aerospace Academy yearbook staff presented their 2025 theme and spreads to the board, showing a stained-glass mosaic cover symbolizing the student body and a planned layout to capture the school year.
Senior co-editors Milena (co–chief editor) and Abigail (co–chief president) described the cover artwork: "stained glass mosaics... each individual shard of glass would represent not only a student, but a staff member," Milena said, explaining the imagery and the use of 12 lanterns to represent the grades. They said the class includes more than 60 students from grades seven through 12 and described a spread focusing on "volume" to capture memories in photos.
On sales, the students and staff reported the yearbooks retail for $80. They said about 240 books were ordered and roughly 90 had been sold as of early in the week; the presenter said yearbooks are sold until they sell out. The yearbook program also offers donors the ability to donate a full $80 book to a senior or to make incremental donations toward a contributed book; staff reported they currently have one or two donations pledged for this year.
A board member asked how many donated books were given away last year; students said eight yearbooks were donated last year. The board and staff discussed working with counseling to identify seniors in need and to distribute donated books.
The board thanked the students for the presentation and complimented the cover design.
