SENIORS, WLHS Yearbook needs a baby picture of you!

We need a baby picture to go with your senior tux or drape picture! This can be from birth to age four. Please send to Kathryn.beam@lincoln.k12.nc.us. These are due by September 1, 2026. If you do not provide one, a baby rebel man will be placed in its spot. Thanks a bunch!

Thank you to all the seniors who showed up this summer for the beginning of your senior year and senior pictures! You should be able to view your pictures this week if you paid the sitting fee. If you did not pay the sitting fee, you can do so through the code provided in your email that was sent to you multiple times. Please also remember that since you were able to show up those two days, you get to choose which tux or drape picture goes in the yearbook. Follow the directions in the email!

For those who were unable to attend, we will have a makeup day 8/25/26 in the library from 8:30-2:00 pm. This allows LCST students time to attend whenever is best for you. I will be sending out a schedule for you to block a time so we don’t have everyone in the library at one and we cut down on missed class time. These pictures are going in on our first deadline. This is the only makeup day! Please make sure you make it! I cannot hold up a yearbook deadline because you forgot. Add it to your calendar! If something does not work please communicate with me and we will make it work!

We will also need a baby picture of you. This can be sent to Kathryn.beam@lincoln.k12.us
This can be from birth to age four. If you do not turn one in a baby Rebel will be placed in its spot. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for a smooth start to senior year! It’s about to get real!
