Photo Montage

 

GRADES PRE-K TO 7TH ARE INVITED TO PARTICIPATE!

 

Send in your photos! Our calendars have been very busy with events lately! Now is the perfect time to remind everyone to send in event photos for the Photo Montage. 

 

Traditionally, a montage of photos, from kindergarten through 8th grade, is prepared and presented to the students at their 8th grade dance. This montage is then sent to the graduating class as a gift from the PTO. Please send any school related photos you may have to the appropriate email address below. Examples include: Class Trips and Parties, School Performances, School Sports (tennis, cheerleading, cross-country, track, basketball, baseball, softball or soccer), or any PTO events including Grade-Level Events, Family Bingo Night and Flower Sale.

 

Please follow these steps:

  • Include your child's name, the event, and year the photo was taken. 

  • Email photos to: ClassOf(Graduation year)@coltsneckpto.org. Replace (Graduation year) with your child's year.

 

For questions, email 

communications@coltsneckpto.org.
