Attention:  Parents

Kelly Harmon will be creating a video for 6th grade graduation.  She is requesting a picture of your child from his/her Kindergarten year.  The picture can be sent via email or hard copy.   The hard copy photo can be sent in to your child's teacher and Kelly will collect them.  (The hard copy picture will be returned.)  This is NOT mandatory.  However, if no kindergarten picture is received, just remember that your child's picture will not be in the video.  Deadline for picture submission is Friday, April 29th.  

Pictures and/or questions can be sent directly to Kelly at mkharmon4@gmail.com.

Thank you!!!
