Every kid that has gone to Sepulveda knows what The Sepulveda Way is. All of us have learned a lot from it. Every kid at Sepulveda knows the basic rules. They also have their own path which they need to take in order to be successful.
This year’s yearbook theme is special – “The Sepulveda Way.” Everything about this yearbook centers around what we already know: be safe, be responsible, be respectful, be kind, the exact thing we eighth graders have heard every day since the first day of sixth grade. There is no other yearbook in the world with this unique theme. We wanted to make a yearbook that would explain the real meaning of The Sepulveda Way in an interactive and fun way.
Back in September of 2024 the Yearbook / Journalism class voted and chose “The Sepulveda Way” as the theme. From that moment on,”The Sepulveda Way” became the heart of every photography assignment or research interview we did, and we did this all year long. We, the yearbook staff, interviewed literally hundreds of Grizzlies about what “The Sepulveda Way” means to them and then published these thoughts in the book. We took thousands of photos. We worked hard and were dedicated to making this a very special book for everyone to enjoy and remember our time as Grizzlies.
Valentina Vazquez, Executive Editor of Grizzly Tracks, explains, “We chose the Sepulveda Way asour theme because it makes us ‘us’. It shows everyone that they made a huge difference in the school even when they don’t know it. It’s something we can cherish and hold dear to our hearts.”
Chief at Large, Tobias ‘Alex’ Almaraz adds, “Our yearbook theme is The Sepulveda Way because we have spent all of our years hearing these ideas everyday, every morning. We have heard this 1095 times, well, if you were here for all these years. For the students who have been here since 2022, you know. The Sepulveda Way is just a good way to start off our day. You can wake up and know that you are safe in your school and you’re going to have a good day. And always be kind, safe, respectful, responsible. That’s The Way.”
Besides the unique theme, the 2025 yearbook also features the “Eighth Grade Panorama Photo,” “Eighth Grade Superlative Winners,” “6th, 7th, and 8th Grade Favorites,” the all new “Faculty & Staff Superlatives” section, plenty of blank pages to collect autographs from friends and teachers, and lots, lots more.
Yearbooks can be preordered for only $45. Be quick before they run out. Yearbooks will be delivered after SBA Testing is over. The 2025 Yearbook can be purchased at the Eighth Grade Awards on May 22, 2025 and afterwards in the SMS Student Store.
