8th Grade families, we need your baby photos for the Yearbook!

8th Grade families, we’d love to include baby photos of our 8th Graders in the Yearbook! This fun addition to the Yearbook was a hit last year and we’d love to include it again.

Please email Ms. Katz (jkatz@smmusd.org) a picture of your 8th Grader as a baby/toddler.

Tributes:
We’ll be sending out more information about 8th Grade Yearbook tributes. A tribute is a special message for your student, placed in the back of the book, customized by you with photos, text, and graphics, to celebrate their promotion from middle school.

You can order a tribute, and a Yearbook, here.

Other photos:

Whilst you’re digging out baby photos, why not take the opportunity to send in other photos from this school year? We’re looking for photos of your student participating in school or family activities. In particular, we’d love photos of:

  • Holiday celebrations, whether from Thanksgiving, the winter holidays, or even Halloween!
  • Distance learning home setups or pods
  • Students practicing music or participating in PE or sports teams
  • Students out at social distancing get-togethers or participating in community life.

We might not be on campus but we still want to record it all!

Thanks for helping us to make this year’s Yearbook special for our students.

Photos Needed for the Lincoln Yearbook!

The Lincoln Yearbook Club is busy planning the 2020-21 yearbook and we need your help!

Typically, Lincoln’s yearbook staff is out on the field, taking pictures of Lincoln life at nutrition, lunch, school events, in the classroom, etc.  Since we’re not in person, we’re asking that you send in photos of:  

  • Thanksgiving celebrations – homemade holiday dishes, decorations, masked-up after-dinner football games or hikes…get creative!
  • Winter holiday decorations (inside or out)
  • Distance learning home setups or pods
  • Students practicing music or participating in PE or sports teams
  • Students out at social distancing get-togethers
  • Halloween photos are still welcomed, too!

Please email photos to Ms. Katz (jkatz@smmusd.org) or Mrs. Howard (jhoward@smmusd.org). Feel free to contact them with any questions.

Thanks for helping us to document this very unusual year!
