Be a yearbook angel or advertiser!
|
|
|
What's one of the best ways to remember your high school days? Thumbing through your yearbook, of course! But not every student can afford this precious memento of their high school days.
Yearbooks are $50. If you'd like to sponsor a yearbook for a student, you can pay it at once, or spread payments over the next few months, we're here to help you.
To buy a yearbook,
see Business Manager Mimi Nguyen, Editor-in-Chief Abraham Mendieta, or Yearbook Advisor Mr. Perkins.
|
|
Another great way to help the ASTEC yearbook effort is to buy an ad! This year, we are offering banner ads for a mere $100 each.
Your ad can serve dual purposes: bringing exposure to your business while helping the yearbook staff keep publication costs under control.
