Grad Baby Photo and Grad Yearbook Quote!

  • Please email or bring a baby photo to Mr. Brent Kingman, room 1021. Or you can email it to: brent_kingman@sd42.ca these are DUE: FEB 14!

All yearbook quotes must be school appropriate and respectful of others. All yearbook quotes will be reviewed by a committee to deem the quote to be usable or not. Yearbook quotes should be something that represents you, your talents, your hobbies, your interests, or a reflection on your personality. We encourage you to come up with your own quote, but quotes from others are acceptable.

Make sure to pay attention to who your quote is from and be critical of their past.

Your quote will be reviewed by a panel of Teachers and Admin (Principals) so make sure your quote is not harmful to anyone or overly vague in its meaning. You may not be able to rewrite depending on when your quote is submitted the earlier your quote is handed in the more likely it will get reviewed quicker. If you are asked to rewrite you will still need to meet our current deadline.

Max 160 characters.

Baby photo can be emailed to me brent_kingman@sd42.ca or brought in to me in person. I am still accepting submissions. Please get these in ASAP!
