This is YOUR yearbook, a keepsake to celebrate and remember Willard School in your own special way. It’s created for YOU and by YOU and your 5th GRADE CLASSMATES!

The Yearbooks are distributed to all 5th graders during the last week of school, usually during the 5th Grade Celebration ceremony. The books will include pages for autographs from your friends and teachers.

For lots of information about and examples of what you need to prepare for the yearbook, please download and read the Personal Page Instructions (PDF).  Parents and students should read this information together.  Please feel free to contact us, if you have questions or need any help!

This year we are asking that all Personal Page files for the yearbook be submitted electronically as JPEGs (saved at 300 dpi) or PDFs and that all additional photos be sent as JPEGs to the email address yearbook@willardptg.org.

Naming your file:  Your personal page file should be named with the student’s last name followed by first name (i.e. smithjohn.pdf or babysmithjohn.jpeg). 

Designing your page: 
The 7.5” (wide) x 8.5” (high) page can be designed entirely on a computer (using programs like Pages, Word, KidPix, etc. plus scanned images) OR you can decorate it by hand and cut and paste pictures or poems and then scan the document into your computer.  You may want to print out the template to see what size of your space looks like. Take a look at some examples from last year's Yearbook for inspiration. Then, email it to us as a JPEG.

Decorate your page with drawings, photos, designs, words, poems, etc.  See suggestions in the Ideas box and on sample pages Personal Page Instructions (PDF). You can browse through other Willard yearbooks at the Main Office at Willard if you need even more ideas.
