Yearbooks with Treering

TIERRA LINDA MIDDLE SCHOOL is using Treering to build the yearbook. That means your yearbooks have a personal touch: your book includes two free pages for you to personalize with your photos and your memories. Get started by creating your free account! 

 

You can personalize and order your book for $35.97 until April 15, 2023. (The personal pages are totally optional, so if you just want the more traditional yearbook, that's okay, too.)
