Senior Ads have been extended until December 19th! What are senior ads? This is where parents share photos of their graduates and leave them a message of congratulations that will appear in the school yearbook. You can pay online at yearbookforever.com and design your ad yourself. If you prefer for the yearbook graphic design staff to make your ad, you can pay by cash or check to Mr. Norris in room 203. You can send photos digitally or have photos scanned when you pay. Full page ads are $300, 1/2 page are $200, and 1/4 page ads are $125.
Yearbooks are currently $80 but will raise in price to $90 after the Christmas holidays. Make sure you buy your yearbook in room 203 or pay online at yearbookforever.com before December 19th.
