Ordering Senior Ads
2023-2024 senior ads are for sale by pre-order in TouchBase (school fee payment system) beginning July 7. Advanced "early-bird” pricing will end on Sept. 30, 2023. The purpose of early bird pricing is to incentivize early purchase and submission of ad content, so our designers can start designing content right away. If you choose to purchase an early bird ad, it is with the understanding that CONTENT IS DUE AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE. If you cannot meet this expectation, please wait to purchase your ad once your content is ready for submission.
To purchase and submit materials for your senior ad, follow the steps below:
PREPARE YOUR CONTENT: Familiarize yourself with the senior ad size options, prices, deadlines, and submission guidelines. After choosing your senior ad size, start drafting a message to your senior that will accommodate the max word count. Be sure to include an appropriate signature (Love, Mom and Grandma). Additionally, gather the correct amount of photos you would like to use. Make sure these digital photos are properly sized and ready for uploading.
PAY FOR YOUR SENIOR AD: Purchase your senior ad on TouchBase.
NOTE: Purchasing a senior ad does NOT secure a copy of the 2024 Evermore. Copies of the yearbook must be purchased separately, also in TouchBase.
SUBMIT YOUR SENIOR AD MATERIALS: Fill out the Google form to submit your senior's message and photos.

What is a senior ad?A senior ad is a custom-designed unit or panel in the yearbook, personalized with photographs of your choosing and a message dedicated to your senior, which provides your graduate with a life-long reminder of your love and support. Our award-winning yearbook designers will create an ad for you based on the message and photograph(s) you provide, in coordination with the publication’s theme, fonts, and colors.
Why should I purchase an ad?
Approximately half of the senior class receives a senior ad from a loved one. By purchasing an ad, you are ensuring a lasting memory for your student in the yearbook. Boosters, clubs, and teams are also welcome to purchase group ads to honor graduating seniors.
Why the additional cost?
The yearbook program at ONW is a co-curricular activity that is 100% self-funded and self-sustaining; senior ad revenue is the staff’s primary fundraiser. Selling ads keeps yearbook pricing level and affordable. Although families pay $55.00 for a yearbook, each book actually costs more to produce. Senior ad revenue covers the cost of specialized production and remaining funds are used to provide equipment (computers, cameras, lenses) and education programs for students.
