Spotlight on the Yearbook Committee
We cannot believe that it's almost time to publish our amazing South Park 2024-2025 Yearbook! The yearbook committee has put endless time and dedication into making this an incredible memory for your child to have for years to come! We would like to give a HUGE thank you to Emily Fry, Shannon Sword, Agi Notter, Kelly Nudelman, Andrew Nudelman, Paige Lederer, Samra Cheema and Dani Mendelson for your hard work and abundant creativity in producing the yearbook! We know our students will be so excited to open those pages at the end of the year!
Yearbooks will be on sale in March, so watch for that information! And please continue to send photos you may have of school events this year! Photos will be accepted through Friday, February 28! Below you will find more specifics on what photos we are looking for and how to submit them to the yearbook! While the committee does an outstanding job of creating the yearbook, it certainly does take a village to gain all the amazing content!
