SENIOR COLLAGES
- It is tradition for parents to make a Senior Collage for their graduating seniors. We use them to decorate the side fence area along the baseball field for graduation.
Collage Guidelines:
- The dimensions should be 11”x 14” or 11”x 17”. Please do not make them larger than this.
- Please laminate your collage so it is more durable, and punch two to three holes along the top. We hang them with small zip ties.
- Please do not get too 3D crazy since it will be hanging outside and could end up too heavy to hang.
- There is no right or wrong way to create a collage. You can use baby and family photos, school photos, sport photos and photos with friends. You can choose artwork, writing or whatever your imagination comes up with.
- Please remember that all photos must be school appropriate.
Important Notes:
- Collages need to be dropped off in the Assistant Principal's office no later than noon on Friday, June 5th.
- If guardians miss the deadline, they are responsible for putting their own collages up on the baseball field.
- Students should collect their collages and bring them home on graduation. It's not possible for us to take them down for you.
