They are fundraisers for the principals slush fund. The principal sets the price.

They were $70 when I was in middle school 20 years ago, so seems like a decent deal.

My kids do! We also have elementary school yearbooks which are fun to look at now. But these are all softcover books that were pretty inexpensive.

Just buy one senior year in HS

I am currently looking at a shelf in my office that has all my middle school yearbooks from 1996-1998. They are fun to have

Our MS yearbook last year was like 75 dollars

And when you get to high school, it’s $100. Brace yourself.

Who wants a middle school yearbook?

Yeah that's crazy. At our MS, it's like $25 but the "yearbook" is a softcover thing. We haven't seen it advertised yet but I think last year there was the option to order a hardcover if you wanted, and those were like in the $35-45 range I think.

PP here, I was curious so I went back to the emails from last year about yearbook sales. It was $25 for soft cover and $30 for hardcover. Company was www.buytheyearbook.com.

Full disclosure, we are in a magnet program and outside of the magnet, there is a pretty high FARMS rate. I can't imagine our school ever requiring that much $ for a yearbook. Even for families who can afford it easily, that's a lot of money when it's not even a high school yearbook.

Everything is more expensive. Hello, inflation.

Op again. I don't see the option for a soft cover

Is it a soft cover or hard cover? That's expensive for a soft cover, but it could also be a fundraiser for the school too.

Hard cover
