Yearbook Signing Party!

We have some exciting news: this year, we are extending the invitation for the Yearbook Signing Party to the entire school!

Here is how it works:
If you purchased a yearbook: Your entry is free, and you’ll receive a complimentary Frost gelato to enjoy while you get your book signed!

If you did not purchase a yearbook: Signing booklets will be available for purchase at the door. Your booklet acts as your “ticket in” and—yes—it also includes a Frost gelato!

Why we need your early RSVP: I am looking for early notice so I can plan the best event possible. A headcount helps me coordinate with Frost to ensure we have enough gelato for every single student, and it allows me to have enough signing booklets prepped and ready to go. My goal is to make sure the lines move quickly so the fun can start immediately!

We can’t wait to celebrate the end of the year with all of you!

RSVP HERE
