Selkirk Apex Yearbook Family Sponsorship
Selkirk’s Apex Yearbook Class is looking for families to sponsor our yearbook program. With your support, we will be able to add more pages to the yearbook, enhance its design without increasing the cost to students, and provide yearbooks to Selkirk students in need.
For every $100 donated, the Apex Yearbook team will provide a yearbook for a student in need. The remainder of the funds will support the overall yearbook program.
In appreciation of your donation, you will receive a receipt and be recognized as a donor through our social media channels and in the printed 2025 yearbook.
Here is the link to donate: https://wa-centralvalley-lite.intouchreceipting.com/SelkirkApexFamily
