<p>I know there is a thread for this somewhere and maybe this is mentioned on that thread.</p>
<p>I just got the order form for yearbook pictures. Yes they are beautiful, very professional, obviously much better quality than my younger boy's public school photos, but-</p>
<p>8 wallets public school $11</p>
<p>8 wallets boarding school $50</p>
<p>Wow! That's definitely a hidden cost. </p>
<p>Of course I don't have to buy them, but he's so handsome hows a mommie to resist?!</p>
<p>Our son’s bs doesn’t do formal yearbook photos. There are sports team photos you can purchase, but most yearbook photos are casual and submitted by the student. Parents can set something up with a local photographer if they desire.</p>
<p>DD’s school lets each senior design their own page- no formal portraits at all. And given DS’s public school portraits- one shot, hair sticking up at weird angles- I’m sorry I spent the few dollars on it at all.</p>
<p>$150 a year for yearbook
$35 a year for student’s copy of the school newspaper
$75 a year for parents’ copy of school newspaper
$150 for graphing calculator</p>
<p>Wow…at my son’s school, there is no extra charge for the yearbook (I guess it is built into the overall cost). There is no charge to students for the school newspaper and copies of it are available for free in the library if local parents would like one. The graphing calculator…unavoidable.</p>
<p>books for my freshman year cost over $500! I can sell some back at the end of the year, but not for as much as I bought them obviously</p>
<p>Sophomore year books cost me over a grand. And I tried to buy used.</p>
<p>^^Yearbooks cost you over $1000??? How many did you purchase?</p>
<p>LOL! I think PBush meant that during the sophomore year, books cost over 1000.00!</p>
<p>Who would want a used yearbook, anyway?</p>
<p>(We all have to laugh at ourselves sometimes!)</p>
<p>^^True. I thought about that right after I hit “submit”.</p>
<p>just wait till you get the brochure for the class ring!</p>
<p>we got the class ring brochure last week. All I can say is “WOW” !
hidden cost? $500 for IT !</p>
<p>^^And that’s probably not the 18K, right?</p>
