Don't miss out on having your adorable baby picture next to your senior portrait in the yearbook! Here's how to send it:
Send it NOW to the yearbook Gmail account. [yearbook@newtown.k12.ct.us]
Attach the picture to your email (don't copy and paste it into the message OR ahare it via Google Drive)
Make sure it's an image file (like a .JPG, not a .PDF).
Do not take a picture of a picture, as the quality may not work for printing. Use an app to scan it instead
Rename your file to: LAST NAME, FIRST NAME BABY (for example: "Smith, John baby"). This helps us match it to you and avoid mix-ups, especially with over 350 seniors submitting!
IMAGES THAT DO NOT HAVE THE CORRECT FILE NAMES WILL NOT BE INCLUDED IN THE YEARBOOK
Want to include your sibling or some fun throwback photos in the yearbook? Here's how:
Senior Siblings: If you have a sibling attending NHS this fall, you can send in a clear, non-blurry photo for them to be considered for these special pages.

"Remember When" Throwbacks: Got some awesome throwback pictures you want to share? Email them to the yearbook email with "Remember When" as the subject.
