If you would like for your senior to have a page dedicated to them in the yearbook, please fill out a “yearbook page purchase form” in the office. A full page dedicated to your senior is $30.00, and will include photos, graphic design, and a nice message written by you. Upon purchase, please provide 5-10 pictures of your student, and a 1-3 paragraph written dedication. You can send the photos and information to Mr. Cumiford at (ccumiford@vusd.org). Our yearbook team is working hard to complete the yearbook. The final deadline to purchase a senior page is Friday, January 31.
