The countdown is on-graduation is just around the corner, and the excitement is building across our Baker community! 

Senior recognition ads are a heartfelt way to showcase your pride and love for your graduating senior. These special messages, filled with photos, quotes, and well wishes, appear in the back of our yearbook-a keepsake your child will cherish for years to come. Whether you want to share a favorite memory, offer words of encouragement, or simply say “We’re so proud of you!”, your message will become part of the yearbook.

How to Create Your Senior Recognition Ad

• Click: Recognition ads to purchase and create your ad

The process is simple and creative-choose your layout, upload your favorite photos (from childhood, family moments, or senior year highlights), and craft a message that will inspire and uplift. Not sure what to say? The Jostens site offers inspiration and tips to help you find just the right words.
