Senior Portraits
 
Seniors time is running out!  If you did not have your yearbook portrait taken during the scheduled summer session, you should immediately make an appointment in order to receive the packet of selections and chose your yearbook pose BEFORE the deadline date-October 2nd  Any senior who does not have a yearbook pose taken by our contracted company, Root Studios, before the deadline date cannot be featured in the 2009-2010 yearbook. Please call Mrs. Thornton 630-668-5800, ext. 611 with any questions.
