Senior Year Book Time

by

Your child’s senior year is one of the most exciting years you and your child will have. It is filled with the last of many times he/she will have as a school student. The rush of excitement as they draw closer to the moment they hold out their hand to receive their high school diploma.

You want it to be the most memorable, and rewarding time in their life and the beginning to a wonderful future. There is much to do this last year: year book pictures, homecoming, and then the prom, leading up to graduation day.

I was excited when my son took his senior picture and then the proofs came back with the cost of the portrait prices, ok there a little high, I can managed it. It’s his senior year anyways.

Then I get in the mail yesterday the senior ad page for the yearbook. With a nice message on it that read “As part of your child’s yearbook, a personalized ad will stand as testament of your support for years to come.

Then, the kick in the ass- for a full color page- get this-$230.00 dollars!
The lowest price is a 1/8 of a page-$90.00 which is a tiny little square!

I will spend $230.00 dollars on senior pictures
230.00 On a page for the yearbook
65.00 On the yearbook!
Total price-525.00

I love my son to death, but come on!!

The price of a Yearbook, priceless!

About Mom’s Soap Box

Moms Soapbox is a forum for all of the fantastically ridiculous issues that face Moms (and Dads) in today's world of information overload and endless checklists on how to be the perfect parent. My intention is to break some stereotypes about what a Mother should be and share with my readers the experiences I have had in raising my two teenage sons while trying to juggle graduate school, a house full of responsibilities and a desire to go with my gut when it comes to parenting. My hope is to show that you can be comfortable enough with yourself and your family to show the world that it isn't a competition but rather a journey to learn and laugh as much as possible
