We will be doing Retake pictures and Senior Personality pictures on Wednesday, October 20th. Students coming for their first picture of the year, can order online: https://inter-state.com/order. You will need to use the order codee: 60012G
To avoid shipping fees pre-orders need to be placed by the day after picture day.
Senior photos will receive a proof-they will not use this code for ordering.
Seniors need to make sure they have all items they would like to use in the picture ready to go prior to their assigned picture time. If you are wanting to include a jersey or an item you currently don't have in your possession, do not wait until picture day to arrange to get those items. Please feel free to contact the office if you have any questions.

Good luck to our Lady Indians tomorrow in the District Championship!!
