YEARBOOK PICTURES NEEDED: Attention Glasgow Community. The Yearbook crew could really use your help. We are in desperate need of photos for the yearbook. It is our goal to represent EVERY single student from Glasgow in our book, The Pride. We are lacking a great number of people and student populations. We would absolutely love more candid pictures, of students having fun and being themselves. Examples of this could be sporting events, competitions, friends playing in the back yard or at a get together. If you can snag some pictures of your student AND their friends without masks, that is even better. Please take some pictures of your students and submit them using this form. Please be sure to include your email, names of students, and what is happening in the pictures to ensure accuracy. Thank you so very much for your help. If you have any questions, please email our yearbook adviser, Rushel Grillo: rngrillo1@fcps.edu. Thank you.
