It’s a great way to help our school while enjoying a night out with family and friends, and best of all, you don’t have to cook!

Picture Day is coming up on Monday, October 13! Students should wear their school uniforms for photos. Families are encouraged to preorder pictures for convenience, but don’t worry, you’ll also receive proofs afterward with the option to place an order later.
