Yearbook Senior Memories…CALLING ALL RHS
GUARDIANS!
Dear Parents/Guardians of the Class of 2014:
Consider being a part of the RHS tradition! There is still time to purchase a Senior Dedication in the 2014 yearbook, the Excalibur! Dedications can be from family members to a senior, friends to a senior, a senior to a senior,
etc. Senior dedication memories appear near the end of the yearbook. This section is an area where parents and
friends can purchase yearbook space to leave a lasting memory for their favorite senior(s). There are multiple
memories to be made in high school, whether Homecoming, a play on the field, a favorite class, etc. While these
memories will live on in each student, the yearbook staff will be working hard to make sure the memories are also
in print for the future. Popular ads of the past have included poems, baby pictures, a picture of a group of friends, a
favorite pastime or activity related to a student’s future major, words of wisdom, or even a motivational quote.
Please fill out the bottom portion, and return to the main RHS office to be put in Ms. JoAnna Moe’s mailbox.
Payment for senior-purchased dedications is due by Wednesday, April 21st. Please don’t delay, as senior
dedications are decided upon a first come/first served basis.
You can plan the dedication, such as the wording and the photos to be used. Pictures that you wish to accompany
wording must be school appropriate. You can send in up to three pictures for us to try to work into the memory
dedication; all three of those pictures will be returned to you. These could be senior pictures, these could be baby
pictures, these could be “growing up” pictures, etc. Please contact JoAnna Moe with questions at
joanna.moe@psd150.org.
This is a special honor provided to our seniors and a memory and dedication from you that lasts!
