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!
