Attention 8th Grade Pennington Parents:
Every year as part of the Pennington Yearbook, families have the opportunity to contribute a short congratulatory note to their 8th grade graduate along with a baby picture.
Please email a note and/or a high resolution photograph to Mrs. Anderson, anderseh@pwcs.edu, by April 1, 2016. You will receive an email upon receipt. Please resend if you do not receive a response. If notes are too long to fit on the yearbook page, a smaller font will be used.
Only high resolution, digital images in JPEG format will be accepted.
