Picture Day is next Wednesday, October 25, 2023! This will be portraits only for staff and PreK-12. We are not doing sports on this day, nor class groups. We have broken up with Lifetouch, and switched to Herff Jones for our yearbook publishing needs. They do not do portraits, so the Greyhound Yearbook students have trained to take these and edit them. This is an important part of photography to learn and we're excited to put it to use! Parents will all receive a free digital image of their student (if they list their email on the order form). Seniors: orders will be photo in cap & gown, which will be provided.
Contact Mrs. Ellis with questions.

Thank you for your kindness and generosity. Your support means the world to Keaton and his family.
With heartfelt gratitude,

Athletic Schedule for the Week
Picture Day is scheduled for Wednesday, October 25th!
This will be portraits only for staff and PreK-12. We are not doing sports on this day, nor class groups.
We have broken up with Lifetouch, and switched to Herff Jones for our yearbook publishing needs. They do not do portraits, so the Greyhound Yearbook students have trained to take these and edit them. This is an important part of photography to learn and we're excited to put it to use.
What does this mean for parents? It means they will all receive a free digital image of their student (if they list their email on the order form) and our print packages are significantly cheaper than Lifetouch. Price sheets will be sent home closer to time.
