Support Midland's Student-Made Yearbook
This student led project will be hardcover, printed on 30% PCW recycled paper, 80 pages, and created using InDesign CS4.  Please help support the yearbook by purchasing an advertisement for your business that will be a part of the book. Ads/messages can be business card sized to full page sized; please view the advertising form for sizing prices.  Unfortunately, there isn't a lot of time before the yearbook is supposed to go off to printing, so please e-mail Mariah Chen '11 ASAP regarding any interest or questions.  Mariah would be happy to work with you; all you need to do is provide a direction.  Thanks for your consideration.
