Parents: Yearbook Needs Student Photos

Mustang parents. This year it is going to be very difficult to take pictures of students since we aren't on campus yet . We are using social media to collect our pictures. The yearbook editors have created a yearbook Facebook page (facebook.com/YLHS-Yearbook-104078068122278) where we will post and update the pictures and quotes that we need to complete the yearbook. This may entail pictures from the first day of school, your Zoom sessions, where your children work, or their Halloween costume! We would really appreciate if you were to give the page a like in order to stay updated with the pictures our yearbook class needs. Thank you so much for your time and feel free to submit questions on the Facebook page. --The YLHS Yearbook Staff

Ad space will be sold first come, first served. The last day we will be able to accept any late ads will be January 14th or until the available space is filled, whichever comes first.
