Weedsport Central School District yearbooks will soon be accessible to alumni, historians, and others online, thanks to a new grant fund. The District won $2,856 from the South Central Regional Library Council.
The fund will help Weedsport digitize all past SPARKS yearbooks, back to the 1921 edition, the year it was first published. The yearbooks are historical
documents, illustrating key events such as football championships, musicals, and field trips, showcasing the evolution of the District over time.
“Not every graduate has a yearbook, and, in some cases, people misplace copies,” explained Assistant Superintendent Melinda Ervay. “Making past yearbooks easily accessible online will help connect these alumni to their roots.”
The District hopes this will allow the community to not only enjoy yearbooks from their own graduating class, but those from their parents’ and grandparents’ classes as well. The District recently celebrated the 100th year publishing its SPARKS yearbook, in 2021.
