Juniors will be taking their picture Tuesday before lunch when Mr. Hight releases them. Class members will be given a point for each day that they participate in the spirit week dress up. To count in the competition, the students will have to be in their class picture when they are taken in the morning. If someone has a "bonafide" excuse for not being at school when the picture is taken that student can bring their excuse to Dr. Trover to check. A total will be provided to each class.
