Time is running out!

In 31 days, the more than 216 yearbooks that have been purchased and are waiting to be picked up by students, will be sold to other students that are interested for $50 to make room for next year’s yearbook storage.

The large number of yearbooks not picked up could be attributed to students forgetting that they had bought a yearbook, to parents not telling their students that they purchased a yearbook, or to students who registered online, which gave them no reason to come to the distribution day.

To verify if a student purchased a yearbook, the student could ask his or her parents if they paid for one during last year’s enrollment or ask Gary Glenn, yearbook advisor, if you have paid or not.

The student could also go to the main office before school, after school, or during Falcon 50 and ask one of the receptionists if his or her name is on the yearbook checklist.

The receptionist would proceed to check if the student’s name is on the list of yearbook recipients, and if the name is located, the student would receive the yearbook.

The number of yearbooks waiting for owners is slowly being reduced because students pick up an average of two boxes per week.

This could be because of notices on the announcements that requested students to pick up their yearbooks from the main office or suddenly their parents realize they dont have their year books.

Yearbooks that are not resold or are not picked up will be donated to faculty and staff members rather than waiting for more to be resold over the months too pass.

An extra 75 yearbooks that were ordered by the school were all sold during registration day by students who hadn’t ordered yearbooks during 2016-2017’s registration.

“People sometimes return 10-15 years later,” Glenn stated. “They realize [yearbooks] are a keepsake they would like to have.”
