Yearbook Time Approaching     Did you know that our kids count how many times their names and faces appear in our yearbook? Add to their count by submitting a special ad just for them. We offer families five ways to display a tribute! Take out a full page, half page, or quarter page, or be a Patron or Sponsor with a thoughtful message. Want to spread the word about your product or service to a wide audience? Our yearbook has an entire section devoted to local businesses. Business owners in our community can place an ad for a full page, half page, or quarter page. We can even create a quarter page with your business card. Your ad will reach parents, grandparents, and other relatives and friends in the surrounding communities of Montgomery County, Northwest Philadelphia and the Main Line. We also distribute copies to neighboring independent schools and to friends of the school. Interested? click here for the form.   Need help with a layout? Cheryl can help! Contact her at cherylr@pmfs1780.org or call the main office.

The opening is Sunday, February 14th, 12-3pm. Children who attend will have a chance to do a short art project there.
