She received a $50 Rave Movie Theater gift card, and she will also receive a free yearbook.  Job well done, Alyssa!  Now, a moment to mention a few other honorable mention designs.  The following students had outstanding covers that received many votes.  Those students were:  Tori Bruveris, Kaitlyn Garrett, Carolina Morales, Hailey Kuntz, Jonah Christian, Lily Kilpatrick, and Saige Woodford.  You will be receiving a prize for your efforts sometime this week!
