School Picture Reminder

Preschool class pictures will be tomorrow, Thursday, September 17th, during school time.  Steve Sheldon will be coming down from Bloomington to take the pictures.  There will be both individual and class pictures taken.  Proofs will be sent home later and pictures can be ordered then.  Money is not needed when the pictures are taken.

Here are a few tips for clothing for Picture Day:

*  Make sure the outfit fits well and is not too large or small.

*  Solid colors are best.  Stripes and patterns detract from the face.

*  Individual portraits will be both close up nad full length.

*  Keep outfits simple.
