=== Send Us Your Photos ===
It’s 2019 and the yearbook is well underway. But we greatly need your help! So far, we have very few photos from the Korematsu community, and we could use many, many more! We’d love to have at least 100 photos by Dec 12, and we’re currently still far short of that goal.
Our yearbook staff would love to include your photos in this year’s book! Share your pix with us. The easiest way to send photos is using the Dropbox we have set up. Just upload photos to:
http://bit.ly/yearbookKMS
We’ll consider any photos of students or events sent to us. We especially need photos of sports teams and after school activities! Photos received before Dec 12 can be considered for the first half of the yearbook, which is due prior to Winter Break.
=== Add Special Recognition for Your Student! ===
Want to add a personal message to your student in the yearbook? This year we are including special recognition ads, with a portion of the proceeds benefitting the DECA club. These ads will appear in the back of each yearbook, letting you recognize the accomplishments of your child.
Visit the Korematsu store page on Jostens’ site to place your order. https://www.jostens.com/apps/store/customer/1003883/Fred-T.-Korematsu-Middle-School/
Note, too, that you can use the store link to order your yearbook.
