Make up/Retake photos are scheduled for this Friday, November 1st. Two types of students need to have photos taken on Retake Day:

1. Students who were absent on the original photo day - They will need to have their picture taken in order to appear in the yearbook. You may use the original order envelope or order photos online.
2. Students who want a Retake - These students/parents are not satisfied with the original pictures from September. Please bring the entire picture package back to the photographer. The photographer will retake the picture and Studio 5 will reorder the package that was originally ordered.

To order photos from Retake Day, please use the direct ordering link:

Join us after school on Nov 6th to decorate the sidewalks of the Turkey Trot with encouraging words and pictures! No need to have artistic abilities, and we will provide the chalk! We look forward to seeing you there!

Here are some helpful reminders

• Please send a water bottle with your student

• Turkey Trot t-shirts will be handed out the morning of 11/7 in classrooms

• PLEASE make sure to dress your student appropriately for the weather! A long sleeve shirt or sweatshirt is recommended to wear under their turkey trot t-shirts. Gloves and hats may also be helpful while moving in the cold weather. Layers are recommended just in case.

• Wear comfortable shoes for all of the trotting, running, dancing, and hopping happening this year!
