A wide, eye-level indoor shot depicts a group of students gathered around a long folding table set up in a school hallway or common area. The table is covered with a gold tablecloth and holds baskets and papers. Two vertical pink signs standing on the floor at either end of the table read, "SIGN OUR PLEDGE and CHOOSE TO INCLUDE!" Two students sit behind the table facing forward, while three others stand in front of the table engaging with them. One student is seated to the left, and an adult stands to the far right. The background features a two-toned wall with red brick on the sides and blue cinder blocks in the center, decorated with bulletin boards containing information about the pledge and yearbook sales.
A group of ten students stands in a line inside a classroom or hallway area, gesturing toward a handmade blue poster taped to the white cinder block wall. The poster features a drawing of a crayon box and the slogan "See the ABLE NOT the LABEL" written in white paint. The students are pointing at the sign or giving thumbs up, while doorways labeled "Bathroom" and "Dressing Room" are visible in the background along with classroom tables.
A diverse group of eleven students stands together in a school hallway, holding a large orange banner that reads "#CHOOSE TO INCLUDE" in bold white letters. The banner encourages viewers to "Be part of the #InclusionRevolution," features a photo of two young boys—one seated in a wheelchair holding a basketball—and is covered in numerous handwritten signatures. The smiling students pose with peace signs and thumbs-up gestures in front of a blue cinder block and red brick wall decorated with school bulletin boards and a yellow "Yearbooks" sign.
Five female students stand side-by-side in a hallway, holding up the corners of a large orange horizontal banner that displays the text "#CHOOSE TO INCLUDE". The banner is filled with signatures and includes a picture of two boys, while the wall behind the students features a vertical sign that reads "Sign Our Pledge and Choose to Include!". The students are smiling at the camera, with the student on the far right wearing bright green Grinch-themed pajama pants and a matching top.

This is a colorful, cartoon-style illustration featuring eight female cheerleaders, presumably from "CMS," standing and kneeling in front of a decorated Christmas tree in a snowy, nighttime setting. They are all wearing Santa hats over their typical cheerleading uniforms, which are primarily orange and blue with "CMS" visible on the tops. The cheerleaders are engaged in caroling, each holding a blue hymnal or songbook. Three of the cheerleaders in the back row are standing, with two of them holding blue and red pom-poms high in the air, while the other five are kneeling or crouched in the front. The overall scene is framed by a thick orange border, and the text "Give Warmth This Holiday Season" is prominently displayed in large, curving orange and yellow letters across the top of the image and the Christmas tree. The illustration evokes a festive, cozy, and community-oriented holiday spirit.

This is a daylight photograph of a diverse group of approximately ten individuals, including adults and children, posing together in front of a large, silver semi-truck. The semi-truck, which appears to be a tractor unit with "Deadwood Hauling" visible in green lettering on the driver's side door, is parked on what looks like a street or parking lot with a crosswalk. The group is standing closely together in front of the truck's grille and wheels. On the far left, an older man with a white beard wearing a plaid shirt, blue jeans, work boots, and an orange cap is standing with his hands on his hips. The rest of the group includes various ages, wearing casual clothing such as sweatshirts and jeans. The background consists of a brick building to the right, possibly a school or commercial building, and some bare trees to the left, suggesting a cooler season. The sky is bright blue, and the sun is shining brightly from behind the truck on the right, causing a strong lens flare near the chimney/exhaust stack.
