Photos from 5th Graders

It's the final countdown! There's one week remaining to send us your 5th graders' photos for their memory book. 

We don't need a fancy or professional photo of your student, just a decently up-close photo taken within the past year. Phone pics are fine! Even a decent selfie would do.  

Along with the photo, please include your student's first and last name and their classroom teacher's name.  

Thank you!
