Greetings Fellow Senior Parents!

Senior Montages are a special tradition at D’Evelyn and we're not going to let a little pandemic stop us! This email is to let you know that it’s time to start planning your student’s senior montage.

What is a Senior Montage? The D’Evelyn Senior montage is simply a photo collage (14” x 22”) of highlights from your senior's life (so far). Once completed, submit a photo/file of your montage and it will be displayed in a presentation with all other 2021 D'Evelyn graduating seniors at the (still-in-planning) Prom Event and the (cross your fingers) Senior Banquet. 

Once you finish the montage it will be a great keepsake to use as a graduation party decoration or help you remember great times with your graduate! To give you some ideas, examples of montages may be viewed here:

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1tDneWXLdZxDNUVYQShhsJBbw6wW1ymKu?usp=sharing

Here is the link to the 2020 montages, also, for even more examples: 

https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1LKWdqPu_a9uFjGl6ty4fBvY2V-WAvxF0xISsnAjVe8A/present

Guidelines and details:

1) Questions? Please contact me, Rene Beck, at renedbeck@gmail.com; 303-482-6423.

2) Guidelines: There is no single way / right or wrong way to complete this project honoring your senior. No matter how simple or complex, the Senior Montage will serve as a unique memento. 

3) Size: 14” x 22”, or as close to this as possible. You can purchase a poster or foam board and cut it down to size (14” x 22”) or you can choose to order an online photo collage in this (or similar size). You choose the orientation -- landscape or portrait

4) What to include:

• Your senior's name somewhere on the front of the montage
• Choose photos ranging from birth through senior year. Ideas include vacation photos, family photos, friend photos, photos of your student participating in meaningful events and extracurricular activities, such as sports, honor societies, scouts, volunteer work, mock trial, musical, etc.
• Stickers or other mementos are welcome.  Think about how well things will photograph after assembly and thicker embellishments may make transporting cumbersome.  
• You may choose to include your senior's college choice or plans for next year.
• If you choose to order an online photo collage (such as from Costco, Shutterfly, Walgreens) instead of mounting individual photos on the poster board, that works, too. Just ensure the finished size is as close to 14” x 22” as possible.
• To make it a long lasting keepsake, we recommend you laminate your montage. While this is not mandatory, it will prevent damage due to hanging and handling. This can be done for you at FedEx Office, Staples or similar print centers. Pricing varies, so call to verify. Self-serve laminating may also be available at Mardel.

5) Deadline: Emailed photos or files of completed montages are due to renedbeck@gmail.com no later than Friday, April 9.  We will get them assembled for presentation at whatever event(s) are allowed for the seniors this spring.

Greetings Fellow Senior Parents!

Senior Montages are a special tradition at D’Evelyn and we're not going to let a little pandemic stop us! This email is to let you know that it’s time to start planning your student’s senior montage.

What is a Senior Montage? The D’Evelyn Senior montage is simply a photo collage (14” x 22”) of highlights from your senior's life (so far). Once completed, submit a photo/file of your montage and it will be displayed in a presentation with all other 2021 D'Evelyn graduating seniors at the (still-in-planning) Prom Event and the (cross your fingers) Senior Banquet. 

Once you finish the montage it will be a great keepsake to use as a graduation party decoration or help you remember great times with your graduate! To give you some ideas, examples of montages may be viewed here:

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1tDneWXLdZxDNUVYQShhsJBbw6wW1ymKu?usp=sharing

Here is the link to the 2020 montages, also, for even more examples: 

https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1LKWdqPu_a9uFjGl6ty4fBvY2V-WAvxF0xISsnAjVe8A/present

Guidelines and details:

1) Questions? Please contact me, Rene Beck, at renedbeck@gmail.com; 303-482-6423.

2) Guidelines: There is no single way / right or wrong way to complete this project honoring your senior. No matter how simple or complex, the Senior Montage will serve as a unique memento.

3) Size: 14” x 22”, or as close to this as possible. You can purchase a poster or foam board and cut it down to size (14” x 22”) or you can choose to order an online photo collage in this (or similar size). You choose the orientation -- landscape or portrait.

4) What to include:

• Your senior's name somewhere on the front of the montage
• Choose photos ranging from birth through senior year. Ideas include vacation photos, family photos, friend photos, photos of your student participating in meaningful events and extracurricular activities, such as sports, honor societies, scouts, volunteer work, mock trial, musical, etc.
• Stickers or other mementos are welcome.  Think about how well things will photograph after assembly and thicker embellishments may make transporting cumbersome.  
• You may choose to include your senior's college choice or plans for next year.
• If you choose to order an online photo collage (such as from Costco, Shutterfly, Walgreens) instead of mounting individual photos on the poster board, that works, too. Just ensure the finished size is as close to 14” x 22” as possible.
• To make it a long lasting keepsake, we recommend you laminate your montage. While this is not mandatory, it will prevent damage due to hanging and handling. This can be done for you at FedEx Office, Staples or similar print centers. Pricing varies, so call to verify. Self-serve laminating may also be available at Mardel.

5) Deadline: Emailed photos or files of completed montages are due to renedbeck@gmail.com no later than Friday, April 9.  We will get them assembled for presentation at whatever event(s) are allowed for the seniors this spring.
