YEARBOOK PRE-ORDER SALE - Last day 12/20

ARMS Yearbooks went on sale this month. The pre-order period is December 1st through December 20th. It is important to reserve yearbooks at this time because the number of yearbooks published will be basedon the number of pre-orders received. There is only ONE printing. Reserved yearbooks are distributed in Advisories in June. We generally order a small percentage over what is reserved so that there are a limited number of unreserved yearbooks available for sale in June at a higher price.

Students will be bringing order forms home next month. Please read these carefully as there are a number of options for reserving books. Please return completed order forms with payment to student advisors by the preorder deadline: December 20th.

YEARBOOK SPONSORS
A doncation form can be used to purchase a yearbook as a gift for a particular student, or to make a donation to the gift fund and become an ARMS Yearbook Sponsor. The form is at the end of this post.  A donation in any amount is greatly appreciated and will enable students who could not otherwise afford it to enjoy the memories of a school yearbook. Yearbook sponsors are listed by name in the ARMS Yearbook,
unless you ask to be kept anonymous. Thank you kindly for your support and generosity!

SUBMISSIONS TO YEARBOOK
ARMS Yearbook solicits creative work from students each year: artwork, photos, poetry… Please encourage your children to submit any original work that they would like to be considered for the 2013-14 ARMS Yearbook. Also, if you have photos from school events, like sports meets or performances, that you would like to share, please email (jpeg attachments only) to atosict@arps.org.
