Photo Memory Wall!

As we approach the 8th Grade Recognition Ceremony, your help is needed to create a Photo Memory Wall for the kids in the school cafeteria.

The goal is to collect two pictures from all current 8th graders.  If you choose to participate, here is what is needed:

• Please send in 1 baby picture and 1 current picture of your student by FRIDAY, May 24, 2024.  
• Please submit a hard copy of each photo – 3”x5" in size. 

Note: Pictures may need to be cropped to fit the display.

Please write your student’s full name on the back of each picture.

All pictures are to be submitted to the school office in an envelope marked Attn: 8th Grade Memory Wall 

*If you would like your pictures back at the end of the school year, please remove them from the bulletin board in the cafeteria on the last day of school or you may come in the week of June 17th.

Please refer to the email sent exclusively to 8th-grade parents on Friday, May 3rd, for additional details and important dates pertaining to 8th graders.
