The 2023 Eastport-South Manor Junior-Senior. High School yearbook has special meaning for that year’s graduating class. It will forever serve as a connection to classmates long after graduation.

It’s an even more special memory for those students who recently received national acclaim for producing that year’s ESM yearbook titled “Stargazer.”

That’s because Jostens recognized the “Stargazer” yearbook with an Honorable Mention in its 2024 “Look Book” edition. “Look Book” highlights award-winning layouts and yearbook designs from across the country and internationally.

“We work very hard with our students, talented photographers at Lors Photography and our Jostens representative on creating a modern, interesting and memorable book for our students. We are very proud of the work the club members have put into this year’s yearbook,” said ESM Yearbook Advisor Melissa Martin.

The “Stargazer” staff who worked on the winning design are 2023 graduates Riley Bivona, Kim Cotrel and Fiona Schlegel and current Eastport-South Manor students Alexandra Fay, Morgan Lally, Liliana Recine, Seleme Reyyan Gulbahce, Yevheniya Rozmarynovych, Bianca Snow and Kalei Strelecki.

“We hope our yearbook captures the true essence of what it means to be an Eastport-South Manor student,” added ESM Yearbook Advisor Stacy Albert.
