Your child has been asked to bring in an 8x10" photo for a special writing project. A school photo, or portrait, works best; but it can be any current picture featuring just your student. Also, although an 8x10" size is preferred, I can enlarge other photos for your child if necessary. Photos will be returned to you when we are finished using them. Thank you in advance for your help!
