Light Painting in Photography
As we continue to learn more about exposure, photography students explored long exposures and alternate lighting by experimenting with light painting. In these photos students worked in the dark to create one-of-a-kind images using a small flashlight as their light source. Patience, a good collaborative partner, an open mind, and a solid tripod were the keys to success.

SENIOR PARENT & FAMILY AD
Congratulations on reaching this momentous stage in your child's high school years! Have you been looking for a creative way to tell your senior "I love you" and "I'm proud of you!" as they wrap up their high school career? If so, how about purchasing a Senior Parent and Family Ad in the yearbook?
To help you celebrate this milestone, the yearbook staff is now accepting orders for Senior Parent and Family Ads to be placed in the yearbook. These ads give you the opportunity to express your love, pride, and congratulations to the entire school!
In order to purchase, you must build your ad for your senior online with our yearbook company, Jostens at www.jostens.com/yearbookads.
You will need to pay, create, and submit the ad online. This allows you to submit pictures, text, and design online; you don't have to mail anything in or wait for your pictures to be returned to you! Begin by going to www.jostens.com/yearbookads and simply follow their instructions!
In order to guarantee a space for your student's ad in the yearbook, submissions must be made by
December 17th.
Senior Ads were a large part of my own high school experience and I loved seeing childhood photos of myself and my classmates in my own yearbook, so please consider adding your student's memories to this wonderful tradition at Foran! If you have any questions please contact me, Meghan Condon, at mcondon@milforded.org; we can't wait to start creating with you!

Attention Senior Families,
Yearbooks are currently at their lowest price of the year, $79, so right now is the perfect time to buy!
