Parents and Staff: Did you know that you can share photos with us to be considered for use in our Millsap Elementary YEARBOOK?!
We try to photograph as many special days and events at our school as we can, but it's impossible for a Yearbook committee member to be there for everything. This is where you come in! Sharing is easy!
You can either share straight from your phone by downloading the Balfour Image Share App, or you can share from your computer by visiting www.images.balfour.com.
