Picture Day is next Wednesday. Your child has brought home an order form. You can fill it out and send in the money on Wednesday, or order online here. Once on the website, our school's code is 108676 If you choose to order online, please send in the bottom portion of the order form with the online order number and your child's name filled out. If you can't find the order form, a note will do as well.
