YBH Hillel - Girls Awarded Middle School Theme Honorable Mention In National Yearbook Competition

PASSAIC, N.J. - Nov. 11, 2014 - PRLog -- Entourage Yearbooks announced their 5^th Annual National Yearbook Competition awards, recognizing YBH Hillel - Girls from Passaic, NJ with the distinctive Middle School Theme Honorable Mention award.  The nationally sponsored contest, conducted by Entourage Yearbooks, judged school yearbooks in many facets including creativity, originality, and journalistic relevance.  Hundreds of schools entered across all fifty states at the Elementary, Middle School, and High School level.

"I'd like to offer my sincere congratulations to all of the schools that completed yearbooks and submitted entries into the yearbook contest this year," said Entourage’s President Elias Jo. "Putting together a great yearbook takes a lot of time and dedication.  The award winners represent schools who clearly went above and beyond on their yearbook and deserve recognition for their work.  I'm personally blown away by the level of achievement this year."

This achievement recognized YBH Hillel - Girls for putting together a notable yearbook at the Middle School level.  Their entry was submitted at the end of June 2014 and was officially awarded on October 1st, 2014.  The YBH Hillel - Girls yearbook was selected from hundreds of schools that submitted entries from around the country.

“At YBH, the yearbook is not just an extra curricular activity. The creation of the yearbook is yet another opportunity for us to actualize the objectives that we have for our students,” said Rochie Sommer, Girls Yearbook Advisor. “The theme, Our Story in conjunction with the quote from Deuteronomy 32:7, ‘Ask your father and he will tell you, your elders and they will speak to you,’ allowed students to reflect on their link to the past and future. As well, they focused on appreciating people in their families and the school community who laid the foundation for them. These ideas were represented through literature, art and photography. Receiving this award for the theme confirms that we achieved our objectives.”
