what is the yearbook and what is in it?

Our yearbook is a 112-page hardcover photobook that documents the academic year. Each student has their Strawbridge portrait placed in the yearbook on their class page. We also include portraits of the staff, pictures of school clubs and competitions (Odyssey of the Mind, Reflections, spelling bee, science fair, etc.), candid shots of school events (movie night, spirit nights, etc.) and of classroom events by grade.

The yearbook committee is formed by volunteers and works with staff and room parents to obtain all the yearbook pictures. If you would like to join the yearbook committee, fill out the Programs, Clubs and Competitions form under My Account --> My Forms/Paperwork.

Email Natalie at yearbooks@millsparkpta.com with any questions.

what is a (5th grade) legacy ad and how can I purchase one?

For our graduating 5th graders, parents have the option of purchasing ad space at the end of the yearbook to publish a picture (or pictures) of their child and a message to them. The deadline to purchase a legacy ad is December 31st or earlier if ad space runs out.

**Ad space is limited and sold on a first-come-first-serve basis. No ads over 1/4-page size will be created.**

The cost of the legacy ad is in addition to the yearbook. The funds raised from the legacy ad sale go to PTA projects including the cost of the 5th grade graduation ceremony. You can choose to make the ad yourself (please adhere to the guidelines below) or to have the yearbook committee make the ad for you.

- A "large" ad or 1/4-page ad costs $70 and is 3 3/4 in. x 4 7/8 in.

- A "small" ad or 1/8-page ad costs $40 and is 3 3/4 in. x 2 3/8 in.

To purchase a legacy ad for your 5th grader:

1. Complete the form and payment via your PTA account by December 31st. **Make sure you have also purchased a yearbook.** (If you do not see the 5th grade legacy ad form under My Forms/Paperwork, try updating your Family Information to reflect your child's grade.)

2. The yearbook coordinator will contact you in January to obtain your message and photo.
