Message from the Senior Yearbook Editors
Each year, a section of the yearbook is reserved for the families of all seniors to purchase an ad space for a special message and baby/childhood photo of their student. While this is optional, seniors often comment how much they enjoy this special section. This year, our yearbook publishing company, Balfour, will collect all submissions at balfour.com. Read the information below for instructions on how to include your senior’s photo and message in the yearbook.
Senior Baby/Childhood Ad Specifics
The cost: Payment is collected at balfour.com and is $40.00 per student. There is a limit of one (1) ad per student. We are unable to process partial payments or print multiple ads for one student.
The message: The ad message length limit is 350 characters. This includes letters, spaces, and punctuation.
The photo: Upload your photo to balfour.com once you receive your ad creation link via email. We may need to crop the photo to fit the space.
How do I do this?
Step 1: Go to this link to purchase ad space by Thursday (2/25)
Step 2: Enter your senior’s name and grade - and then “SHOP FOR THIS STUDENT”
Step 3: Scroll down to purchase ⅛ Page Ad Space ($40.00)
Step 4: Add to cart - this is also a great time to reserve your 2021 yearbook
Step 5: Checkout/pay for your ad
Within 24 hours of your purchase, you will receive an email with instructions for submitting your ad message and photo. Register with a frequently used email address to ensure receipt of the ad submission information.
Submit your picture and message NO LATER than Monday (3/1). DO NOT EMAIL or MAIL your submissions or messages to MVHS--they will NOT be included in the yearbook. We will only accept online submissions through our yearbook publisher, Balfour.
PLEASE NOTE:
- Only one (1) ad per senior.
- If two separate messages are desired, they must be a combined length of 310 blanks to allow for a message division and accompany ONE picture.
- Families with twins/triplets/etc. may submit one ad for all seniors or one ad per senior. We charge per ad space used (i.e. twins with one picture/message = $40.00, twins with separate pictures/messages = $80.00).
- We reserve the right to edit or refuse to print anything that is seen as offensive or inappropriate.
- We will not correct grammar or spelling, unless it is a clear error.
- Senior baby/childhood ads are optional and are printed in a different section than senior portraits.
- The ad cost funds a portion of the 2021 Vista, similar to business ads seen in other schools’ yearbooks.
