Yearbook Senior Congratulatory Ads 

Many senior parents have asked if there is still space available for seniors pages in the yearbook. At this time, we have 4 pages left that can be purchased at any increment. Visit http://millbrookyearbook.weebly.com for more information. 

If you are interested in this limited space, it is suggested that you pay on OSP to reserve the space ASAP and get the materials to Mrs. Putnam immediately after the holiday. Also, if you have already purchased and are waiting on a proof, the yearbook staff is behind in creating these. We will get a proof out to you soon. Questions? Email mputnam@wcpss.net.
