Dear Parents,
Your son/daughter will be graduating from the eighth grade this year. We, as a middle
school, would like to create a Power Point presentation for the students to view at their
graduation dance.
This will be a farewell to the eighth grade as they look forward to new and exciting
adventures in high school. The presentation will feature pictures of the students when they
were infants, in elementary school, and as recent graduates. This will be a special way of
showing how life was during their younger years, and how special life will continue to be at
high school.
We will need to collect at least three pictures from each student to make the show complete.
These pictures can range from recent pictures to older ones. Pictures will be given back after
they have been scanned. Please be sure pictures have your child’s name and homeroom
teacher clearly marked on back of photo.
All pictures are to be sent to Mr. Nosik as soon as possible, and no later than May 27, 2015.
Thank you,
H.E.L.U.S. Middle School Teachers
