Dear Sixth Grade Parents,
Get your pictures in the Memory Book! The Memory Book Staff invites parents to submit photos for the memory book. If you've got great photos of current 6th graders at school events, we'd like to see them. Our photographers can't be everywhere. Help us get as many photos as possible to create a terrific book everyone will want to have. Photos can be from this year, or years past at Butler, but please limit your submission to your best 10 photos. Please make sure photos are clear, and were taken at Butler or a Butler event.
Here is how you can submit photos online:
• If it does not automatically log you into the site, enter username: 412663682
• Browse to select the photo(s) you wish to upload.
• Enter information about the photo and provide contact information in case the staff needs additional information.
• Click "Save Details".
It's that easy! Submit your photos today!
The last day to submit photos is 03/31/2019.
Thank you, and enjoy the rest of the school year!
Sincerely,
Memory Book Adviser and the 2019 Memory Book Staff.
The Memory Book Staff will review all photos and determine final memory book content. We cannot guarantee that all submissions can be used in the book.
