IMPORTANT CLASS of 2012 YEARBOOK & SLIDESHOW INFORMATION!
● Important information about senior ads for the yearbook is available at the links below. We have had almost 100% participation each year and we are very grateful for this parent support. You will need to decide whether you want a color or black & white ad, what photos to include and a message for your senior. We must submit our color pages to the publisher first, so these must be received by the yearbook promptly, by MID-SEPTEMBER.
● The yearbook also needs 1 baby photo (up to 2-years-old) by Thursday, September 15. This photo is used in the senior section of the yearbook.
● In addition to the yearbook, we do a senior slideshow which is shown on Class Day in May. We will need 5 photos for this presentation. These photos usually show the senior from baby to present. We have several months before we need these photos.
So, look through your family pictures to submit selections for your senior’s yearbook ad, fine the ONE baby picture for the senior page, and pick 5 photos to display in the slideshow. This will take you longer than you realize! Production on these pages begins by Labor Day!
Thanks so much for your help and cooperation. We look forward to working with the senior class this year. May the Lord be with you. We will keep you in our prayers and ask that you also support us as we prepare for the yearbook of 2012.
In Him,
Susan Bellew
SFCS Yearbook Adviser
