Picture Day-POSTPONED
Unfortunately, we have just been informed that the photography company, Strawbridge, does not have enough photographers to take our school pictures on Sept. 8 and 9. Because of this, we will NOT be taking school pictures during entrance conferences. We are working to reschedule picture day. Watch future newsletters for the updated date!
