Please consider volunteering to help us make this year's event an even bigger success than last year's event. You may also volunteer your student(s)' grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc. Sign up today at tinyurl.com/4sskehzs Thank you!
Yearbook Picture Submissions
Calling all parent, student and staff photographers! If you’ve taken pictures at our various events throughout the year, the Yearbook Committee would love to use them in this year’s yearbook. You can submit both portrait and candid pictures, and you can upload more than one student or group picture at the same time. You can use a camera or cell phone camera to take your pictures, but the photography company recommends that you use a larger screen (computer, laptop or tablet) for the upload process. Use this LINK to submit. Please, do not hesitate to contact the Yearbook Committee Chair (Milande Watson) with any questions or comments at milande1@msn.com. Thank you!
