Senior superlative winners have been notified by yearbook and should start reaching out to Madison Croucher to plan their picture for the yearbook. In other yearbook news, Senior pictures need to be turned in online by using the QR code posted around the school. See Mr. Zimmerman in room 301 or any yearbooker with any questions. If you do not turn in a senior picture, your Lifetouch ID photo will be used. If you still need someone to take senior photos for you, please email yearbook@talawanda.org and we can set up FREE sittings for you! Senior pictures are due March 23rd!
