Spring Picture Day Is Tuesday, March 7th

It is that time of year for us to put on our finest dress and “Say Cheese”. Did you know, Spring Picture Day helps Orange Hunt ES?  This is the time when our picture people take class pictures and individual shots. For every child that that smiles for the camera we get $3 for the school.  We know that you have many wonderful pictures of your child, but help us out and let them have one more. You do not need to buy the pictures to help OHES. Thank you in advanced for your help and support!
