JCHS Adobe Intern, Sophomore, Kayla Eilerman designed fifteen different monogram prints and sublimated them on zipper pouches. All money collected was donated back to JCHS Christmas for Kids.
She had $205 to donate to the cause.
“She is probably one of the busiest people I know yet always willing to say, ‘I'll do it! Let me do that.’ We talk about it and I ask her to let me know if she needs help.” ~ Ms. Kolkmeyer
She's in both Advanced Adobe and an Adobe Intern. Her work can be seen on many class windows and bulletin boards throughout our school. 💙
