Newsletter Critique shoshanim seminary

Hi! Can someone please add their opinion on what I could do to make this newsletter (I make for a seminary that I work for) more professional or write any critique you have?

font choice of the bosy txt is too ornate and fussy. choose a more simple (sans serif possibly) font and allow larger margins all sides . that alone will change the look.
i would leave out the drop shadows and outlines… to clean up the look

Thank You!
What about page two? Does it look funny that the pictures are overlapping? Should I align them all straight?

images need a slight frame or soft drop shadow as some blend into each other

ok, I will change that…
is everything else good?
