Blink of an Eye - A tear-jerker of a tradition is the Blink of an Eye video which is played at baccalaureate, before the graduation ceremony, and at Senior Celebration. But it doesn’t happen unless you dig up that kindergarten photo from twelve years ago! Talayna Marco is our amazing volunteer tackling this time-consuming feat for all 453 seniors so you cannot get that photo submitted soon enough! Deadline will be in January, but please don’t wait. Here’s what to do:
1. Find your student’s kindergarten school portrait.
2. Didn’t purchase the kindergarten pic? Don’t worry. Any headshot will work. It should look like any standard yearbook photo and should not include anything, like hats, that obscures the face.
3. They can only accept photos electronically, scan the picture and save it in JPG format (300 dpi minimum). If you don’t have a home scanner, use your cell phone. Please use care to avoid glare and angles.
4. Save the photo in the following format – LAST NAME, FIRST NAME. Please use the student’s name that is on file with the school.
5. Email the file to lancersblink23@gmail.com. You should receive an auto-response when it is received.
