Memory Book photos:  WORK IN PROGRESS.  COMMITTEE FORMING.
We want to see everyone in the book
To make a nice Memory Book, we rely on ALL parents to submit photos.  Please understand that how well your child is represented in the Memory Book depends on the quality and quantity of photos we receive from YOU!  Remember, if we don't have 'em, we can't print 'em!
Please continue to take photos of 8th grade events throughout the year.  We will need these photos as you acquire them.  The 8th grade year is the last section of the book to be designed.

How to submit Printed Photos:
Each family will be contacted by a "memory book coordinator" to collect your photos.  To assist them, please put your family name and a description (event and year) on the back of all photos so that they can be returned.  Please put prints in the manila folder that you were given, or in a zipper baggie/envelope if you don't have the folder.  Please put your Family Nameon the outside of the folder/baggie/envelope.  Submit the prints to Mrs. Mueller who will forward them to the coordinator.  If your photos are large or you don't want them traveling to school in a backpack, you can deliver them to your coordinator if you make arrangements with them.  We will hold the photos until the Memory Book printing is underway.

How to submit Digital Photos:
Digital photos should be as high resolution as it came from the camera - 640x480 or similar  photos (like from a website such as Facebook) are NOT able to be used, as they are too grainy when printed.  You are looking for something along the lines of 1600x1200 (or 1200x1600 for portrait) as the minimum that will give enough quality to print.  
If scanning photos yourself, please scan as a color photo at High Quality (not Draft), and at 400 - 600 dpi (use a higher dpi setting for physically smaller photos).

The easiest way to submit digital photos is to email them as an attachment, one photo at a time to:
church98tame@photos.flickr.com
(this autogenerated flickr email address will add them to a private folder on flickr)

In the Subject field put the event/year/grade (basically the subject of the photo)
In the body or text portion of the email, on its own line, put tags: and the name(s) of students in the photo in double quotes. 
Example: 
tags: "Mitchell Marangoni" 
If more than one student is in the photo, each name is in double quotes, with a space in between names.  Example:
tags: "Mitchell Marangoni" "Mary Tresky"

More examples: 
(single student, 7th grade photo)
TO: church98tame@photos.flickr.com
Subject: 7th Grade photo (September 2009)
Body: tags: "Mary Tresky"

Subject: Lunch during 5th Grade Zoo trip (October 2007)
Body: tags: "Meredith Walker" "Nick Blatt" "Mike Fischer" "Mitchell Marangoni" "Mary Tresky"

If you don't want to email the photos, you can also put them on a CD, with the subject/student name as the file name for each photo.  Write your family name on the CD in Sharpie, and attach a list of any additional information for each photo (by photo name), such as dates, on a piece of paper.
If you have questions regarding emailing or burning to CD your photos, please email GaryKara@gmail.com and we will try to help you out.

What photos are needed:
We will need hundreds of photos, so please send in your pictures of the following:

The underlined subjects are the bare minimum required, as they are used for every student - please submit more if you have them!
