Student Council Club Pictures

On Thursday, February 17th, club pictures will be taken for the 2010-2011 yearbook.  When Student Council is called ONLY class representatives and officers should report for pictures, not alternates.  Hopefully this clarifies any confusion.

Please see Mrs. Njos or Mrs. Korda with further questions!
