Cornhusker Boys’ and Girls’ State

Cornhusker Boys’ and Girls’ State will be held June 1-7, 2025. Current juniors, who are interested in spending the week on the University of Nebraska-Lincoln campus, learning about how our state and local governments work, are encouraged to apply. Interested students should be in the top half of their class, display good citizenship, leadership and be willing to spend the entire week at the Cornhusker Boys’ and Girls’ State program. Applications are available in the Counseling Center and must be returned to the Counseling Center by January 27th, 2025.

Yearbook Baby Ads

Each year, the yearbook staff reserves space for Baby Ads in the yearbook.  This space is used as a way for parents and guardians to send off their seniors with a note of encouragement and wisdom as they enter life post high school.  The ⅛ page ads will be sold for $50. But this year we’re also including ¼ page ads ($100), ½ page ads ($180), and a full 1 page ad ($300) to dedicate a message to your seniors. The larger the ads, the more pictures you are able to include. These ads will be designed by our yearbook staff.  This is fully optional.

The deadline for Baby Ads is February 1st, 2025.  Everything is done electronically at yearbookforever.com. Type in Lincoln East, and then follow the directions.

While the website is pretty self-explanatory, more detailed instructions can be found at this link.    

If you have questions, please send an email to Elle Barts at ebarts@lps.org Thanks!
