Carol HenningMandy Davenport, Ankeny High School, Ankeny, Iowa

I really love how easy the online program is to use for me and my students. The new book sale program has also been extremely easy to implement and we have seen a huge increase in book sales because of it. Also, Matt is always available and provides top notch service!

 
Carole Henning, SE Polk HS, Pleasant Hill, IA

"Our high school yearbook students are pleased to work with Matt Baltes as our local representative for the Jostens company. He is the hardest-working guy in town; he provides us with important materials and publishing updates, he teaches us active, hands-on lessons that help us produce a quality yearbook and he is our #1 cheerleader when morale is down. He's "been there," and knows, even before we do, what we're going to need to have and to do to create a great book, done on time, at a reasonable cost."

 

Ann VisserAnn Visser from Pella High School, Pella, Iowa, Former JEA President

"Jostens has done an excellent job for us in so many ways. Working with our plant representative and with Matt has been a pleasure. We always know they will come through for us."

"This is my 6th year advising with Jostens as our yearbook publisher.  We have used the book sale program for the last 5, and it has helped tremendously with the bookkeeping aspect, as we don't have "lost" orders or accounting errors in student accounts.  The same goes with YearTech Online.  No other yearbook company has the same technology available in one complete program.  It has eased the creation of pages, allowed us more memory space for saving and using pictures online, and most of all, saved us money!"

Andrea Hoekstra, Carlisle High School

"Stepping into a new teaching position that included the task of putting together the school's yearbook made me feel a bit overwhelmed yet excited to be a part of the process.  Any apprehension I felt at the beginning was quickly replaced by a sense of relief once I met with my yearbook sales representative Matt Baltes and began my journey with Jostens.  I have been very pleased with the service I have received and have found the entire process from the on-line program to the continued quality service to exceed my expectations."

"As a first year advisor, working with Jostens has been great.  My representative, Matt Baltes, has always been willing to answer my questions and has taken the time to help me learn the trade.  The online program is so easy and fun to use that I find myself using it during my time off - it doesn't feel like work!"

Trish Dobson, East Marshall High School, LeGrand, Iowa

"Jostens has made producing a quality yearbook easy and efficient. With a small staff with a range of abilities, the Josten's online program is one that all students can easily use. There is excellent support both from our local Josten's representative and our plant consultant when I have questions or problems."
