The WS yearbook staff believes every senior deserves a special shoutout from the adults that have helped them make it this far and that this tradition should be free.
From now until the 31st feel free to leave one message for your senior.
For sake of space, we ask that the messages stay one per household and are no longer than 2 sentences.
Examples:
(Student name), we are so proud of you! You are amazing, smart, kind, and bring us so much joy! Love Dad, Mom, & Addy
(Student name), like a force to be reckoned with; a mighty ocean or a gentle kiss. I will love you with every single thing I have, always. -Mom
(Student name), Take the time to enjoy each moment and be ruthless with how you choose to spend your time, it will fly by. We are proud of you and will continue to cheer you on whatever path you choose. Love, the fam.
