Fall Family Portraits
at Craig

BPI Photography returns to Craig on Sunday, October 25 for fall family portraits. This was a great success last year.  Many families took advantage of this special and convenient offer to have family photos taken.  Photos will be taken outdoors.  You have the option of the outdoor environmental background or a white background.  You will receive an 11x14 family portrait for a $15 donation to Craig.  It's a $65 value. Other size portraits will be available to order including holiday photo cards! For more details or to sign up please see the attached flyer.

Wednesday, October 7

Craig Students and Parents - Please join us on Wednesday, October 7th and participate in our International Walk to School Event. Each year the number of walking students and parents continues to grow. Walking is a great way to participate in moderate physical activity. Walking with a friend or parent is also an excellent opportunity to connect socially and develop communication skills. Walking also helps our environment by reducing our carbon footprint.  Don't forget to meet Mr. Stewart or Mrs. Weigand at the crosswalk and get your sticker. We look forward to seeing a lot of walkers!


Thank you for participating in our PTA Fundraiser with Charleston Wraps!!
