Grade 8 Yearbook
Hello Grade 8 students and families. It’s hard to believe that this is your last
year at Jack Mackenzie! To help remember
you time together here, we would like to know if you would be interested in
ordering a yearbook and would ask your assistance in collecting photos for the
book.
We would be using
www.mixbook.com
to create the yearbook. Books would be
available mid July so that photos from the graduation ceremony, trip, and
remaining school year can be included.
The approximate cost would be $40 per book (based on at least 20 students
ordering a 60 page book).
Before we proceed, we are wondering how many students would
be interested in ordering a yearbook.
Can you please either complete the bottom portion of this letter to show
your interest and return it to your teacher, or send an email to
jmac.yearbook@gmail.com, by February
9
th, advising YES or NO?
To create the yearbook, we would also need some help from
each student/family:
We plan to include classroom photos from K to Gr 8 as well
as photos from various extra-curricular activities, sports, & field trips
that our students have participated in through the years, etc. If you have photos from chaperoning a Jack
Mac field trip, Christmas concerts, music concerts, sports practices/games, etc,
which you are willing to share, please email them to
jmac.yearbook@gmail.com (please also advise
during which year/grade the photo was taken).
Any photos which include Mr. Mackenzie would be greatly appreciated!
We would also like each student to create one page
containing photos/info “about me”. This
page might contain 6-10 photos including:
-
Baby/toddler photos
-
Kindergarten/grade 1 photo as well as photos
through the years
-
Photos showing student’s extra-curricular
activities/other hobbies/interests
-
Student Q & A (eg. Favorite memories of Jack
Mackenzie school, favorite memories of Mr Mackenzie, favorite
activities/hobbies, what I want to do when I graduate, etc….) (more details to follow)
There are a couple of ways each student would be able to
complete this “about me” page:
1)
Preferred
option - If the household has or is willing to create a free Mixbook
account, the yearbook committee would share a template page, which the student
can complete, then share back to the committee.
2)
If any households are not able to create a free
Mixbook account, they can email photos/info for their student’s “about me” page. We will upload the photos to Mixbook and one
of our yearbook committee members can assist the student to create their page,
or create it for them.
We hope that with a small contribution from each family, we
can create a book of memories that each of our students can treasure for years.
Our Grade 8 teachers will also be looking for a couple
students from each classroom who would be interested in helping to create the
yearbook.
To help us anticipate how many families would be interested
in purchasing a yearbook, please complete the form below by indicating YES or
NO to the question below (or email your answer to
jmac.yearbook@gmail.com)
Thank you!
