Des Moines elementary teacher calls yearbook a highlight of the job

Written by Evan Blackwell, CJE

Take a look at this story from the Des Moines Register about Matt Todd, an elementary school teacher in Iowa who has now also been the yearbook adviser at Wallace Elementary School for the past four years.

When he started, Todd said he “hadn’t even heard of yearbook for elementary students.” Now, there’s a yearbook program in place at Wallace, teaching the young kids valuable lessons about organization and publishing that they likely can’t get anywhere else in the school.

Now, Todd told the newspaper being a yearbook adviser is “one of the highlights of his job.”
