WHS Senior Parents and Guardians: As we do every year, we will be putting together a senior memory video to be shown on your student's last day of school during the breakfast. It is a fun video and the students love to see the memories.

We would like to include as many pictures as possible from their lives. But we aren't looking for individual shots. We need pictures, with two or more seniors in the shot. These can be from birth through their senior year. We would love to see pictures from school, summer activities, preschool, holiday events, etc. The more we have to work with, the better the video turns out.

These pictures can be sent to me via email at villars@nice.k12.mi.us or to Madisyn Gregorich at msgregorich@nice.k12.mi.us. You can also send in hard copies to be scanned and returned to you.


We will need to have all pictures in by the beginning of May in order to have the video completed in time.


Please let me know if you have any questions and we cannot wait to see the pictures!!
