Yearbook:

SENIORS ONLY Distribution will be in GB7 May 21

during lunch, 7th period, and immediately after

school. Books WILL NOT BE GIVEN OUT during

classes. Students must show photo ID.

Regular distribution for all students is May 22

(Friday), immediately after school in the cafeteria.

Students must show photo ID.

Students who did not pick up books during

distribution may go to the Finance Office 7:15-7:40,

during lunch, and 2:30-3:00 Tuesday-Friday May 26-

29. Students must show photo ID.

Make sure students check the list of “We already

bought the book” posted at the Mirror and the

Finance Office to ensure they pick up their books in

a timely fashion.

Students may purchase yearbooks on or after the

distribution date on a first-come, first-served basis, if

there are additional copies available for purchase.

These copies will cost $105 cash, credit card, or

money order (no checks). There may not be many

extra books available for sale.

Time is of the essence, storage space is at a premium: If a student does

not pick up his/her yearbook by 3:00 p.m. on the last regular school day

before exams (June 5, 2015), it will be sold as a fundraiser for Re-Wa-Ne,

and no refund nor credit will be due to the student or his/her parents. We

simply do not have enough storage space to keep copies of these books

after that date.

Gather those precious childhood photos now and

start composing your message to get the best pricing

on next year’s Diapers to Diplomas spaces. Early
