I think Josten's was our previous and hopefully future year book provider. This year we had to pay $15.00 and got much less than our regular $12.00 year books. I don't have any info but I am sure they have a website.
We do our yearbooks ourselves. Lifetouch gives the school a disk with all of the school pictures. I'm a designer so with the help of a few other parents taking candid pictures throughout the year (if they aren't digital I scan them) and teachers giving us some pictures we do it ourselves. The students (K-3) just finished the cover design contest for this year. The fist place third grader always gets on the cover and the second place third grader and first place k, 1, and 2 get their's on the back cover. It's costing us about $1,500 to get 350 yearbooks printed which we sell for $7 each or you can sponsor the yearbook for $20 and get 1 free yearbook plus a message to your child or advertise your business. We give each teacher/staff a yearbook and next year if there are any yearbooks left over, any child that was unable to purchase one the year before can have one on a first come first serve basis. This has worked out really well for us.
Our school use Lifetouch but you have to buy a mininum of 125 yearsbooks. We are a small school 225 kids and we only received orders for 100 books so we ended up having to pay for other 25 books out of the pto pocket.
Lifetouch...good idea. Thanks, I'll check there. Yes, we were thinking of giving them - as a gift - to all the 8th graders, and allowing the rest of the school to purchase them. Thanks again!
I believe we use Lifetouch, they have a website if you just do a search. Are only the 8th graders getting yearbooks? We have large schools (1200 kids in a grade 3-5 school) and our parent group donates a book to every 5th grader; the rest of the students can choose whether or not to but one. Our K-2 school also sells a book.
I've searched this site and haven't been able to find any information on yearbooks. Our school is Pre-K thru 8 and our PTO would like to start the tradition of giving the graduating students (approximately 20-30 kids) a school yearbook. I'm sure there are companies out there that do this, but I can't find them, and I'm curious to know if they'd do it on such a small scale. Any info would be very helpful!!
