8th-Grade Slideshow

The 8th-Grade Slideshow Committee needs your help. If you have already sent me your pictures, please disregard this email. If you have not done so yet, please email me one infant/toddler picture and one candid picture from when your son/daughter was in 5th grade. These pictures are for the 8th grade slideshow which will be played at the promotion ceremony at the end of the year. Both pictures should just be of the student without any additional people. Please send one email with both pictures to jsatola@independence.k12.oh.us by the end of January and include your student's name in the email subject line.

Thank you for your help!
