The yearbook and newspaper staffs are creating a special quarantine magazine designed to peel and stick inside the back of the 2019-2020 yearbooks since this has been such a significant part of the school year. A salute to our athletes who lost their spring season is going to be part of that coverage. If you have a photo of your GHS student in uniform or obviously practicing for his/her spring sport this year, please email that photo to droberts@gws.k12.in.us and include the student's name and cell phone number so a student reporter can reach out to him/her for caption information.

Yearbook Information. With so much happening in Indiana right now, the situation with yearbook pick-up has to be at the bottom of the list if it's even on the list, but I have received a few emails.

I want to assure all purchasers that we finalized our 2019-2020 yearbook before school shut down. And from what I'm reading in my journalism teacher forums, not many other yearbook staffs were in the same boat. This just shows you how awesome the yearbook staff has been this year.

We should receive our yearbook from the publisher within the next 2 months. As soon as the quarantine has been lifted, we will be able to plan yearbook distribution. Meanwhile, the yearbook and newspaper staffs are creating a special quarantine magazine designed to peel and stick inside the back of the yearbooks since this has been such a significant part of the school year.

Up-to-date information about GHS is available on this website and the Timberlines Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/GCHSTimberlines/?ref=bookmarks Continue reading

School pictures have been sorted and delivered to all English teachers. Your child should receive his/her picture package or a proof sheet tomorrow during English class. Here are a few points you need to know:

1. Everyone who posed on School Picture Day will receive a picture package that a parent / guardian ordered or a proof sheet with information about ordering in English class tomorrow. Any student who does not have an English class will receive the package delivered to one of his/her classes tomorrow.

2. Any student who was not here on School Picture day in August will pose during Retake Day on Oct. 11, regardless of whether parents want to order picture packages. These photos are used for administrative purposes. If parents want to order photos, though, they can use this form:  img-805071529-0001-Copy.pdf_page_1.jpg  (Disregard the date. Retakes are the same price so you can use the original Picture Day form.)

3. Students who do not like their picture packages can pose for Retakes on Oct. 11 during English class. They must return their entire picture package to pose for Retakes. They do not need to complete new forms for their replacement photo packages.

4. Students who do not like their proofs do NOT have the option to pose for retakes unless they want to order picture packages. They can use the attached order form or pick up an order form in the main office. Use this form:  img-805071529-0001-Copy.pdf_page_1.jpg (Disregard the date. Retakes are the same price so you can use the original Picture Day form.)

5. Seniors can order these photos for personal use, but the special photos taken during the summer and in August will be the ones used in the yearbook. use this form:  img-805071529-0001-Copy.pdf_page_1.jpg (Disregard the date. Retakes are the same price so you can use the original Picture Day form.)

Dear Parents of Current GHS Juniors,

The 2018-2019 school year is drawing to a close, and I'm sure you cannot believe your child will soon be a senior. One item that needs to be on your To Do list right now is your child's senior picture. 

If this is your first GHS senior, you probably have no idea how senior pictures work. Basically, you can go anywhere to get your child's senior pictures taken for photos you distribute to friends and family, BUT, your child must pose for his/her yearbook senior picture through Prestige Portraits this summer. You cannot provide a photo taken by somebody else for the yearbook because of specific digital imaging required for yearbook printing.

To make senior pictures easy for you and your family, Prestige will set up a full studio at GHS in the library this summer with lots of background choices and props on June 12 and June 13. You will receive proofs from Prestige so you can choose your yearbook photo and purchase photos if you'd like for family and friends. There is no obligation to buy photos, though.

Prestige Portraits will send you a postcard within the next few weeks that gives you a specific date and time for the senior picture. All appointments will take place on June 12 and June 13 from 8 a.m. - 3 p.m. If you have a conflict with the date and time assigned, you will contact Prestige to change your appointment using information on that postcard. Prestige can set up full appointments at their studio on the north side of Indianapolis throughout the summer, too, if you'd rather drive to the studio. The key is that you get those photos taken before school starts.

I'm providing you with this information in April so you can keep these dates  -- June 12 and June 13 -- free on your calendars.

If you have questions for Prestige about your appointments or senior pictures in general, you can contact Christine Williams at 317/829.2073 Continue reading

If you want a 2018-2019 yearbook, pick up an order form in the front office and order yours by the end of today. If you order online using the instructions on the form, you have until 11:59 p.m. to place that order. After today, it will be too late to order yearbooks even though they do not come out until May. The books will be totally sold-out. Continue reading

Tomorrow is School Picture Retake Day, and students who need to pose for retakes will do so during their English classes. All students who were absent on Aug. 8 when everyone went to the gym to pose for school pictures must pose next Tuesday for administrative reasons – even if they do not want to buy school pictures. This includes all seniors who were absent on the school-wide picture day; this picture is for their school IDs and transcripts. Students who purchased picture packages but did not like their pictures should pose, and they must return their original picture packages to the photographer at that time. Picture packages do not include the proof sheets all non-purchasers received. Extra order forms for school pictures are available in the front office and have been emailed to all parents.

Use the attached order form even though it is dated Aug. 8. Prices have not changed. Continue reading

GHS Students: What are you doing on Sept. 15? Would you like to win two free tickets plus t-shirts to Taylor Swift’s Reputation tour concert at Lucas Oil Stadium? The yearbook staff has two tickets to the concert from the concert promoter but would love to give them to you. Here’s how you can win these two tickets: First, you have to buy a yearbook by Sept. 4 to be eligible. Extra forms are available online, in the front office, and in Room K105. Secondly, you need to create a lipsync video to 30 seconds of one of Taylor’s songs. You can include as many of your friends as you want, but the prize is only two tickets. All videos can be emailed to droberts@gws.k12.in.us or dropped off at Room K105. Ensure you include your name and the name of the person you intend to take to the concert with you if you win. Submitting an entry gives permission for the yearbook staff and Taylor Swift promoters to use your video lipsync in promotional materials. Continue reading

Any senior who did not have his/her Senior Picture taken at GHS in June will have another chance -- a final chance -- in early August. Seniors who did not pose should receive after-school appointment cards soon directly from Prestige Portraits. Once school begins, any senior who has not received an appointment card can contact Ms. Roberts in Room K105 (317/889-4000) for information.

Remember, you do not have to buy anything from Prestige Portraits, but you do have to pose for your yearbook senior picture through them. Seniors who do not pose for their senior pictures during this August last-chance opportunity will not be included in the album section of the yearbook.  Continue reading

Do you have a senior best friend, brother, or sister? One way to send a permanent “good luck” and “I am so proud of you” message is to publish a Senior Personal in the yearbook. If you are a senior and know your parents intend to get one but haven’t done so yet, please share this information with them. Senior Personal spaces are basically sold out. The yearbook staff is designing those yearbook pages right now. If you want a Senior Personal in the yearbook, you need to pick up a form in the front office or in Room K105 OR print one from the school’s website and bring that form with payment, photos, and message to the front office by this Friday. Over Fall Break, the yearbook staff will finalize all Senior Personals and adjust pages as needed. After Fall Break, no Senior Personals will be accepted because no space will exist for additional ones. Continue reading
