Read on for information about cap and gown portraits and senior ad and yearbook ordering deadlines. 

Cap & Gown Portraits

Cap and gown portraits for the class of 2023 are scheduled for Monday, January 30, and Tuesday, January 31, in room 305.

• The photographers will have the actual cap and gown, so it’s fine if you don’t have yours yet. If you DO have your own and wish to wear your own, that is also fine. The cap-and-gown design is different this year from the past, so a cap and gown from prior graduates of East will not work. 
• The gown usually covers shirts pretty well, but just in case, a plain black or white shirt is always best.
• Physical order forms for purchasing portraits are in room 206. You can also order online at http://mylifetouch.com using picture ID EVTJB24KM.
• These portraits are a COURTESY and do not go in the yearbook. They are not required.
• Appointments can be reviewed here: bit.ly/EMCandG.

Senior Ads & Yearbooks

The final count for yearbooks is due on Wednesday, February 1. There will not be many extra books for sale, because history has shown that people who really wanted yearbooks purchased them by that date, and over-ordering costs the school money. To be sure to get a yearbook, purchase by Tuesday, January 31. The last day to purchase a senior ad is also Tuesday, January 31.

Design your own ad and order your yearbook @ http://yearbookforever.com.

Can you help us repeat for the media center what we did for the 500 building? Please help us find another fridge!

Thanks to Karen Fry we were able to donate a fridge to our teachers and staff in the 500 building. Thanks to Mike Kenerley and his company “The Essential Gardener, LLC” it made its way to the school and our custodian Hector Abreu helped us bring it to the right spot. Thanks to all who made this possible, because our teachers really love their “cool stuff” and their “stuff cool.”

Help us repeat this miracle for our Media Coordinator, Ms. Williams! If you are renovating and have a working fridge that you are going to replace, or if  you have one in your basement or your garage that you don’t need anymore, please consider donating and reach out to us at emhsptso@gmail.com. Thank you for making miracles happen for our staff.

East Meck families, check this out: The PTSO website is now translated into seven languages! Families can use the language flags at the top to auto-translate the pages from English to Spanish, Vietnamese, Nepali, Arabic, Chinese, Portuguese, and Amharic/Ethiopian.
