YEARBOOK

It's time to start looking for photographs to be included in your child's yearbook. We will need individual as well as group pictures. 

For through the years pages: 

In order to be sure each child appears in the yearbook with their friends from PS 59, we need your help gathering GROUP pictures of your child and their friends from K­-5th grade. Pictures can be from Halloween, Field Day, Family Picnic, field trips, concerts, etc. The pictures should be from school events. We can not guarantee every photo will be used in the yearbook, but want to have as many as possible to choose from so we can make sure each child is represented.
