5th Grade Slide Show Pictures Needed
Parents, we are putting together a end of year slide show for the 5th grade graduation. We need group pictures of your student at Bransford activities from Kindergarten-5th grade. Please include group pictures rather than individual pictures of just your child. Please limit this to no more than 1 picture per grade attended at Bransford. We will also need a baby picture of your student. Please be sure to send in baby pictures, as we want to ensure all the students feel included in this special portion of the slide show! Please ensure all photos meet the school dress code, as this is the approved policy required by Bransford.
All pictures must be digital. Please email the pictures to: 5thgradecoordinator@bransfordpta.com. For baby pictures, please label by first and last name. For all other pictures, please label by first and last name, and by grade that the kids are in at that time. The deadline to submit pictures is Friday, March 23.
