• A Soccer Steal

    After stealing the ball, Grant Enyeart, 12, runs toward the goal. “My favorite part about soccer is definitely the friendship of our team and how we get closer,” Enyeart said. Enyeart’s favorite memory was scoring seven goals in one game. Photo by Addie Town.

  • Bird’s UP

    As the Black Hawks were taking off, Carson Boswell, 11, and Alex Hayde, 12, use their phones to film. “Riding the Black Hawk was real fun. It’s definitely a new experience for sure, and it’s something you don’t get to experience every day,” Boswell said. The Black Hawk ride was one of the many activities that the AFJROTC cadets did.

  • Bloody Brilliance

    Biting on his fake axe, Gabe Green, 12, debuts his Halloween costume at the homecoming football game. “I decided to be Patrick on Thursday night, so we had to go get a poncho before school on Friday. My girlfriend smeared red paint all over me at the game to give off the blood effect,” Green said. Green’s girlfriend did not want to match with him, so his goal was to one up her.

  • Calling My Passion

    Acting on stage, Daniela Segura Conde, 12, makes the most out of her exchange year. “Before the last show, the whole cast sang our warm-ups together, and we were all crying and hugging each other,” Segura Conde said. Segura Conde felt lucky that she got to do what she loved in Spain and America. Photo by Franki Farmer.

  • Catch & Release

    Stepping forward Ava Ward, 11, gets ready to release the ball. “I remember there was this day where our game got rained out, and my family was supposed to bring food. Well we decided at the beginning of practice that we were going to eat our Canes, so we spent 20 minutes eating Canes and talking,” Ware said. Ware had transferred from LSHS at the beginning of the year. Photo by Jadyn Delgado.

  • Flying High

    Riding in the Black Hawk, Liam Fry, 11, and Jayden Sloan, 10, film the take off from the window. “”Riding the Black Hawk was so much fun, and I enjoyed people screaming midway through the flight,”” Fry said. Fry and Sloan were in the second flight. Photo by Bailey Woodbury.

  • Here & Gone in a Wink

    Standing with her parents, Lily Winkle, 12, looks at her mom in shock after winning homecoming queen. “Having my mom by my side made the moment even more special and shocking because neither of us were expecting it. She was probably more excited than I was about it.” Winkle said. Winkle agreed that it was nerve-racking to be in front of the whole school but thought it was so cool to hear everyone cheer for her.

  • Team Scream

    Getting motivation from her teammates, Michelle Hale, 12, finishes her race strong. “I do the calculations in my head, then based on that, I either pick it up or try to pick a new pack to run with,” Hale said. Cheering Hale on, Anaya Ruhl, 9, pushes her teammate to do their best. Next to [left] Meadow Lepert, 12, Norah Mason, 11, and [right] Emma Gerding, 9.“We have buddy gifts every week, so you’ll get a couple of small gifts. And then you write them a note saying ‘good luck, you got this,’ and this kind of helps to know that someone’s got your back, and it helps to hear those encouraging words before you run,” Ruhl said.

FAQ

What is the cost of a yearbook?

$75 if purchased by December 25.  After that, the cost is $85 until the end of spring break, and then yearbooks can be preordered for $95 through the end of the school year. If you want your name engraved on your yearbook, please pre-order your book before April 30.

To preorder your student’s yearbook, visit yearbookforever.com and search “Lee’s Summit North.” From there, follow the steps to purchase a yearbook. Credit cards, debit cards, and PayPal are accepted.

If you would like to pay with cash or check, please drop off in the front office or mail to LSN.

When is the deadline for ordering?

The last day of school. No extra books will be ordered. If Walsworth ships us any overruns, they will retail for $90. We can NEVER count on this.

How can I find out if I already preordered a yearbook?

If you think you ordered online, you can look up the email you would’ve ordered with on yearbookforever.com. If you ordered at registration through PowerSchool or in-person with cash or check, you can email Mrs. Jessica Brown, CJE (jessica.brown@lsr7.net) and she will be happy to check her system.

When will the yearbooks be delivered?

The previous school year’s books will be delivered in August the following school year and available for pickup in the front office or on a designated distribution day. For example, the yearbook for the 2020-21 school year will be distributed in August of the 2021-22 school year. Follow @lsnyearbook on Instagram and like the Lee’s Summit North Yearbook Facebook page for real-time updates. 

Some schools are spring delivery and some are fall delivery. LSN has actually been fall delivery since 2001. There are pros and cons to each, and we’ve actually found that the students today don’t value signing yearbooks as much as previous generations did, which we think is because of the presence of social media.

Our Student Council voted during the 2018-19 school year to keep fall delivery so that all of the spring events could be included, making it a complete YEARbook. Spring delivery schools actually sacrifice having spring sports and events like prom and graduation covered in the yearbook itself (there’s an option to do an insert, but then you run into the issue of those having to be picked up at a later date anyways) because the final deadline for them is before spring break.

When is School Picture Day?
Pearce Photography is our official school photographer. They will have designated picture days at the school for grades 9-11 and a designated day for seniors as well. Specific dates can be found on the school calendar. Pearce also offers senior portrait sessions for SENIORS ONLY in the summer each year for a sitting fee. Their studio is located at 415 Main Street, Belton, MO 64012. Communication of these dates will be sent by the yearbook adviser in July each summer.

Please help us ensure that your student is following the dress code. The following accessories and items are not allowed in portraits and students who are wearing or have such will be asked to remove them before their photo is taken: no hats, no hands, no headphones, no sunglasses, no backpacks, and no purse straps. They will be asked to wear a jacket if they are wearing off-the-shoulder tops or spaghetti straps that make them appear nude in their photo (yearbook photos are cropped at the shoulders) or shirts with inappropriate images or lingo. We encourage seniors to dress up—suit and tie, dress shirt and tie, collared shirt, solid color dressier tops or sweaters. Students who are not in compliance with these rules will not have their photo featured in the yearbook.

Pearce Photography will be back at the school one final time for a retake/make up date, which can also be found on the school calendar. For a sitting fee, Pearce will also allow you to schedule an appointment at their studio up until the retake/make up date, and after that, we will no longer be accepting any portraits for the yearbook.

All school pictures will be uploaded on pearcephoto.com. A week after taking your portrait, enter any email address and the student lunch number as the password to see your student’s photo and place an order for prints. For questions about viewing or ordering photos, please email info@pearcephoto.com.

Can I submit my own portrait to the yearbook?

No. Pearce Photography is our official school photographer and takes all student portraits grades 9-11. If you want to submit your own portrait to the yearbook and you are a senior, consider purchasing a senior ad.

How do I purchase a senior ad?

I like a picture of me in the yearbook. Can I or my parents get a digital copy?

Images captured for purposes of these publications belong to the publications. DO NOT ASK A YEARBOOK STAFF MEMBER. Images from yearbook events cannot be given out by the photographer or other staff members for people outside the yearbook program without the adviser’s permission. This includes, but is not limited to,

  • Sharing images from an event with students, staff, parents, or community members outside the publication programs without obtaining permission from the publication staff adviser.
  • Uploading images of students from school events, captured for the purpose of the yearbook or newspaper publication, to social media accounts unaffiliated with the school publications.
  • Taking credit for images captured by another staff photographer.
  • There are times images are donated to our publication by students, staff, parents, or community members. While the person who donated these images is not held to this copyright agreement, the publications program will still hold to this copyright agreement to ensure trust between donors and the program.
  • For purposes of district use, images may be shared with staff members and other members of the district at the request of staff or administration members. As long as the purpose is district related, the images may be shared. However, before sharing images, it is necessary to obtain adviser approval to ensure copyright has not been violated.
Where can I find LSN yearbook policies?

All of our policies can be found in our Style Guide/Handbook. We update this annually.
