Yearbook Senior Ads
Each year, the Greenwood High School yearbook sells Senior Ads to allow the families to be able to express their love
and best wishes to their children. Purchasing a Senior Ad for your child will allow them to have a special keepsake they
can hold onto forever within the pages of their senior yearbook. By creating a personal and unique message, you can
tell your child how proud you are of them. Parents also have the opportunity to showcase their fondest memories of
their children through photographs. The proceeds from the ad sales support the yearbook program and allow us to
offer the price of the book at a lower cost to the entire student body.
Senior Ads can be created and purchased at www.yearbookordercenter.com, School Code 17660. Senior Ads can be
purchased in 3 sizes.
1/4 page (max 3 photos) = $100 1/2 page (max 5 photos) = $150 Full page (max 10 photos) = $300
Ad space is limited.
Deadline to submit an ad to the website: February 4, 2022
We have created two templates for you, but you can also create your own design using the colors and fonts we’ve
selected for the book. We have tried to set it up so that you have some creative freedom while allowing us to keep the
color scheme consistent throughout the book. Please make sure if you are submitting professional photos you have
permission to share them and for us to print them.
If you have questions, please feel free to call 270-842-3627 or email emili.terry@warren.kyschools.us.
I am Rural America Poetry Project
I Am Rural America is part of The Voices and Faces Project’s Louder Together, a crowdsourced poetry project that seeks
to create poetry and performance that speak to a range of human rights and social justice issues.
The Voices and Faces Project, an award-winning non-profit storytelling project and testimonial writing program is
joining with Justice for Migrant Women, to solicit poetry submissions that speak to the statement “I Am Rural America”
and shine a light on outdated notions of who represents rural North and South America.
We are seeking poetry that confronts the economic, racial, and social injustices too often experienced by rural
communities and highlights aspects of rural life that are too often ignored by the media and the public. We especially
seek to elevate the writing of Black, Brown and Indigenous persons, immigrants, farmworkers and other Communities
of Color from across North and South America, whose stories are too often disappeared in conversations about rural
populations.
We welcome poetry that speaks hard truths. But we also seek writing that focuses on your hopes for a more just and
equitable rural America.
The Louder Together team at The Voices and Faces Project will then weave together lines from accepted submissions
to craft I Am Rural America, the second crowdsourced poem in our 2021 Louder Together poetry and performance
series. Contributors will be fully credited.
Click here to submit for I Am Rural America. Submissions are due by January 1, 2022.
