Peach Rings  |  Green Jelly Beans  |  Purple Nerds
Blue Jolly Ranchers

Senior Portraits Deadline Announced 

Seniors who have not yet had a portrait taken for the yearbook have one more opportunity to do so at Allatoona on Saturday, September 14 from 9am to 4pm in the practice gym.  Appointments are strongly suggested to avoid long wait times.  Go to www.cadystudios.com to schedule an appointment.   After this date, students must book an appointment at the Cady Studios location in Roswell to have their portraits taken.  All portraits must be taken by December 16 for pictures to appear in the yearbook!
If there was a captivating program you could attend with your student that would reduce the likelihood of them being involved in an accident by more than 75%, would you attend?  And if so, how much would that be worth to you?  How does less than � of your insurance deductible sound?

 

Whether building confidence in new drivers, or knocking the hot-rods down a few pegs, the Accident Avoidance Workshops' goal is to save lives by positively impacting new drivers' development, in both their decision making abilities and the physical skills necessary to maximize on their own vehicle's capabilities without losing control of their vehicle, or themselves.

 

The Workshops are coming right to Allatoona High School this November.   Click here for more information and for a complete schedule, or call 770-262-7009.  If you are ready to register, you may  click here.
