Yearbook
Yearbook order day will be Wednesday, January 21, one week from Wednesday. Students will receive a form in their third hour classes to fill out so that an invoice can be sent to their homes. You will need to PRINT the information in capital letters in BLUE or BLACK ink, not pencil or colored ink as these forms are scanned by a machine. You need to know your address exactly including street number, street name, apartment number if applicable and zip code. Your book will be shipped to this address as well. An inaccurate address could result in your not receiving an invoice and therefore not receiving a book. Or your book could be misdelivered next fall. The yearbook staff cannot be responsible for inaccurate addresses, or for change of addresses not reported to Mrs. Sutton.

The cost of the yearbook without a nameplate is $47. This price includes shipping the book to your home when it is published next fall. You should fill out a form next week even if you are uncertain about whether or not you wish to order a book. Even though an invoice will be sent to you, you may cancel the order later and you are not obligated to pay. If you do not order your yearbook this way by the final deadline, the cost will go up to $60 so you want to be sure to fill out a form early. If you are absent on Wednesday, January 21, you will be able to fill out a form in the main office but the amount of time you have to do this in is limited.

More information will be available from your third hour teacher on how to fill out the forms. Make sure that you know your COMPLETE address and bring a blue or black ink pen to third hour class. Don’t miss out!

If you cannot afford the yearbook, see Mrs. Sutton in Room 205 right away about the possibility of working off the cost of the book.


Knitting Club
There will be no meetings of the Knitting Club this week because of semester exams.
