Spring Picture Day -- Wed., April 17
Lifetouch will be taking the spring pictures using their pre-paid system. The coompany will collect the pre-paid order envelopes at the camera. Therefore, only students who pre-pay will have their pictures taken. Students may wear free dress for these pictures. With pre-pay, parents may purchase as little as one item or a set of pictures making spring pictures more affordable than ever. The pictures will also be delivered much sooner.
On the same day, Kindergarteners and eighth graders will also have their graduation portraits taken. The company will provide the caps and gowns; students just need to wear their full uniform (they may bring a change of clothes for free dress and spring pictures). We will appreciate any parent volunteers who can assist the Kindergarten class that morning.
Camp Izza Not Offered this Summer
We have been notified by Camp Izza that they will not be offering their summer program in Pasadena this summer.
