Yearbook Reminder & Digital Link to InPrint
The 2021 Fentonian has moved from a spring delivery book to a summer delivery book for this school year. Presently, we expect to receive shipment of the book in late July or very early August. Many factors were considered in this switch and working together with our Josten's representative, the Fentonian staff feels that this change will give us the best scenario to account for COVID-related delays and include important coverage within our book.
Please visit https://thefentonian.weebly.com/ for more information.
