This image shows a colorful and engaging yearbook cover for Sycamore Park Elementary School for the 2024–2025 school year. The text reads, "Sycamore Park Elementary School" at the top, with "2024–2025" below it. The central slogan, "We are a family," is creatively designed with a mix of cut-out letter styles. Below the text, there are four hand-drawn illustrations of diverse individuals, including a smiling adult, an excited child jumping, an athlete holding a basketball, and another adult figure, symbolizing community and inclusivity. Black paw prints are included as decorative elements, tying the theme to the school's mascot or identity. The light blue background adds a bright and cheerful tone.
