Why a school memory book is worth starting now
Every grade has its own spread: a frame for the school photo, height and teacher, ten favorites, friends and the timeless when I grow up answer. Years from now you can leaf through it and watch your child grow up page by page. The facing page holds a handprint or drawing, the top memory of that year and notes from the report card, so the piles of loose paper can finally go.
Opening days and closing days each get one page, with every year listed in a row so you can compare them at a glance. Awards and graduation pages bring the story to a close. With no dates printed, you can jump in at your child's current grade and add each year's spread as it begins.

Questions
Questions about the school memory book
Which grades does it cover?
Fourteen grades: Pre-K, Kindergarten and 1st through 12th Grade, each with its own two page spread.
Can I start if my child is already in middle school?
Yes. Since nothing is dated, begin with your child's current grade, or go back and fill in earlier years as well.
Is it for boys or girls?
Both. The look is neutral for any child, and every grade spread has a roomy frame for the school picture.
Do I have to print the whole book at once?
No. Many families print everything on heavier paper, while others add each grade's two pages to a binder as the new year starts.
