Spring Picture Day – This Thursday

Individual and class photos will be taken on April 18th.

Information should have come home in the Tuesday folder last week or this week’s.

We still need three volunteers for the afternoon 12:00-3:15pm shift – we currently have no one signed up. If you are available to help, please email Kathy Cutri.

Next year we will be returning to Lifetouch and more reasonable prices. We were told that the prices for Legacy would be comparable to Lifetouch, among other things, which was not the case. We extend our apologies for the high prices this year.
