We are also letting them know that they will NOT be returned. Healthy Lifestyles has a labeled red accordion organizer, tabbed by grade, placed in the workroom for you to place these pictures. 2. E-mail: parents can submit digital pictures throughout the year to [email protected]. Parents will need to include the grade for the student in the subject line. If submitting for more than one student, a separate email per student will be needed. Author Visit: Chris Barton on Oct. 17thIn Thursday folders, order forms were sent home for this visit.
