Creating a Blazer Handbook -

We need to create a handbook for our paper... one that has all the stuff we do...

I have a lot of samples and for last couple of weeks of school (June) this is what we will be working on.

You will be working in sections with your section leaders to add information as a google doc

Here are sample handbooks:
