Upload Pictures - We Want Your Photos!
Please help us fill up the 23-24 Sharon yearbook with great photos!

1. Instructions: Download the "Yearbook Snap" app (made by Walsworth Publishing) to your phone.
2. Find your child's school: "Sharon Elementary". The passcode is "Knights".
3. Important note: On each photo upload, note what school event it was taken at (example: Robo knights, walk to school, 5th grade field trip, etc). If it is a general candid photo, please include the grade level (example: 2nd grade recess). Unfortunately, photos can usually not be placed in the yearbook without this note!
