Palmer honored, along with Colorado friends

10 Coloradans earn certification during JEA/NSPA Spring convention

Jed Palmer, media adviser at Sierra MS, in Parker, was officially honored as a JEA Distinguished Yearbook Adviser during the adviser luncheon in San Diego on April 12. The JEA Yearbook Adviser of the Year program, which began in 1995, honors advisers who have done outstanding work in yearbook journalism, and the Distinguished ranking comes just behind the national winner. Jed is only the second middle school adviser to be so honored.
