3 4 things are needed for a senior ad: 1. ONE photo of your senior. 2. A few sentences congratulating your senior (if it s too long, it will be shortened). 3. A self-addressed envelope so your photo can be returned. 4. A copy of the receipt from the finance office. Give the envelope with the photo, sentences, and receipt to the main office secretary. Digital photos and sentences may be ed to tyler.lewis@nebo.edu but the ad will not be created until a copy of the receipt is received.
