Fall Portraits
Fall portraits will be taken next Thursday, September 29th. Students in kindergarten through 8th grade MUST be in Mass uniforms for the pictures. All students will have their pictures taken regardless of whether picture packages will be purchased. This will ensure every student is represented in the yearbook.
