LAST CALL! 5th Grade ONLY – Yearbook Recognition Ads
This is a reminder if you would like to purchase a recognition ad in the yearbook for your 5th grader. These will appear in every book, as opposed to the 2 custom pages which each purchased book includes and will only appear in your own book.
Ads are available in 1/4 size ($30) or 1/2 page ($60).
To purchase an ad, please do the following:
1. Log into your Tree Ring account (you should have one if you bought a book. If you haven’t bought one, now is a great time!).
2. Scroll down to the ad section and click “get started”. Then purchase and design as you like!
Here is a tutorial video if you need it: Recognition Ad Video
DEADLINE: Ads must be purchased and designed by April 19th! This is also the deadline for completing your custom pages.
If you have any questions, please reach out to: ChaparralYearbookCommittee@gmail.com
