KPHE Yearbook/Homeschool Pictures
KPHE is working with photographer Adam Hager, a homeschool graduate, to offer a 2009-2010 KPHE yearbook to all who are interested. The response has been great for our last two photo sessions - but if you missed them, here's another chance!!! Photo appointments can be made for Tuesday, July 20th from 12 noon until 5:00 p.m. at the Bible Center, Southridge Campus. If you did not get a chance to sign up for a slot, come anyway and we'll work you in.
The yearbooks will be 8.5 x 11 saddle stitched, soft cover books with full color cover and pages and will include activity pages. Each yearbook will cost $25.00 due at the time of the photo session. In addition, each family will also receive a FREE 8x10 family portrait. (Free print may not be exchanged for any other pose.) Reasonably priced print packages will be available. Sponsorship spaces are also available at a cost of $50. Adam will also have on display samples of his work. To see a sample of Adam’s work, visit:
For questions, please contact Patty Ratcliff at 304-984-2380 or 304-756-2107.
