📸 Help Us Build Our Yearbook!
Did you take a great photo at a school event, performance, field trip, or club activity?
We want to see it!
Mrs. Courtney and Mrs. Fisher, MMSOA's yearbook advisers, are using Jostens Photo Share to make it easy for students, parents, photographers, and families to share photos with our school. Shared photos will be considered for inclusion in the 2026–2027 Marrington Middle School of the Arts Yearbook!
How does it work?
Simply visit our school's Photo Share website and follow the onscreen instructions to:
📷 Upload your favorite school photos
🏷️ Tag people and topics
✏️ Add captions or details about the event
📚 Submit your photos for consideration in the yearbook
There are several easy ways to access Photo Share:
Website: https://photos.jostens.com/NX344B
QR Code: Scan the Photo Share QR code.
📸 Take a photo. Upload it. Be part of our story!
Our yearbook captures the memories, friendships, accomplishments, performances, and experiences that make MMSOA special. We can't be everywhere, so we need your help capturing the moments we might otherwise miss!
Please note: Submitting a photo does not guarantee that it will appear in the yearbook. Photos will be reviewed and selected by the yearbook staff.
Thank you,
Mrs. Courtney & Mrs. Fisher
The last day to purchase and design ads is January 15, 2027!
