Senior Portrait Final Reminder
Upcoming Graduates: It's not too late to have a Senior Portrait taken!!! Tuesday, August 31st from 1:30-3:30 p.m. is the final date/time reserved for you to stop by New Vision Photography Studios. They are located at 3117 Merriam Lane, in Kansas City, KS. Let Pam Rider in the Dean's Office know if you plan to stop by the studio so she can alert them. You are not required to make any payment to the studio. Remember, it is important that we have a nice photo for each graduate to include in the Senior Roster, the class photo and the Summer 2011 issue of the NTS Connection. Any questions, see Pam in the Dean's Office. Photos may be purchased if you choose.
