Dear 8th Grade Parents, Guardians, and Extended Family,

The Venom Yearbook publishes a section for 8th Grade Dedication ads. 8th Grade Dedication ads are a great way for parents, siblings, and other family (grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc.) to commemorate student achievements and important milestones. In addition, revenues from dedication ads help our school to create a better yearbook. Jostens manages Depoali's yearbook ad sales so please do not contact or send materials to the school. When creating dedications, please take into account that Depoali reserves the right to edit dedication ads per our guidelines (see below). Please make sure all submitted materials are appropriate for school publication. All dedication ad orders must be placed online by December 1, 2024. (no submissions will be accepted after this date.) 

• Cost: $50 each ad (more than one family member can purchase ads for the same student)
