Senior Bodies

WHAT ARE THE ‘BODIES’?
Bodies are “life-sized” posters of each graduating senior, used as decoration for the Senior Party. Bodies will be returned to Seniors at the end of the party.

WHAT DO PARENTS NEED TO DO?

1. Take a vertical full-body photo of your student

  • The image should be 300 dpi or higher resolution

  • The image file should be in .jpg format

2. Upload your photo to be printed by one of two local recommended vendors:

Print Your Own

  • Please note: if you do not choose to use one of our preferred vendors, please print the body ON FIREPROOF PAPER. Fire code regulations will not allow any posters not on fire proof paper. 

3. DECORATING (Optional)

Bodies can be decorated with stickers, additional photos, pennants, etc.  Ideas for embellishments might include: instruments, favorite foods, vacations, sports, mascots, colleges, friends/family, pets, etc. 

  • If a family is familiar with Photoshop or other editing software, images can have embellishments digitally added prior to printing

WHAT NOT TO DO

  • Don’t attach any 3D items to your poster (you may affix stickers, but no 3D items).

  • Don’t cut out or laminate the body

  • Don’t wait until the last minute. Both sites require a couple weeks to turn the “bodies” into posters.

    • Very last date to upload is April 26th.

4. VERY IMPORTANT - Write your student’s first and last name and cell phone number clearly on the back, bottom of the printed body with a Sharpie. This will ensure the Body is returned to the correct student!

5. DROP OFF INFORMATION

  • The Bodies will be collected at EHS on Tuesday, May 7th, and Thursday, May 9th. More details as the dates approach.
