📸✨ Picture Day is TOMORROW! ✨📸

Time to get those outfits ready and practice those smiles! 😊 Picture Day at MECC is for individual student pictures, so we’re excited to capture a special photo of each of our students!

Order forms were sent home, and families can also order online at INTER-STATE.COM/ORDER. Use code 0475XZB

We know that sometimes things happen that are outside a family’s control, but because we begin taking pictures as soon as the school day starts, it’s especially important to be on time. We want to make sure every student has the opportunity to have their picture taken! 📸💙

We’re ready for a picture-perfect day at MECC! 😊

Start getting those picture-perfect outfits ready, and we’ll see you in front of the camera soon! 😊📸
