The Remington Weekly
Dear JRHS Families - we had a productive, and plenty warm(!) Convocation last night, and I was excited to see the eagerness and conscientious preparation in our families. I believe we are poised for a great school year. I am including some follow up notes regarding the 11 tables last night, helping everyone to be fully ready.
Thanks,
Jeff

We urge our families to make efforts to invite guests to these meals, and guests eat for free. Categories of guest that we focus on include: grandparents and extended family members, area pastors, fellow church members, alumni students and families, prospective students and families to JRHS and current or future benefactors to JRHS.

Table 11: School Photography
Picture Day is 9/9. We will take a whole school photo, as well as individual portraits. Typically Marsha does all of this outdoors. All families are welcome to come and utilize the opportunity while Marsha is here. Portraits take approx 5 minutes, and a family shoot takes approx 10 minutes. Schedule other/family shoots with Dianna. Marsha is also offering a great deal for Senior portraits, shot on another day and location of choice.
