Our Composite!

Students & Parents,

I hope the year has faired well for all of you. I have a request for all of you in reference to our composite photo. In order to recieve our composite for free, we were required to have 35 orders made by CP families. We fell short of that number and we find ourselves in a position that requires us to pay for our composite. If we were able to get more students to purchase a picture package we could lower that cost or eliminate is all together. Please visit the following web site and consider purchasing a picture package. The web address is:

The pictures came out wonderfully!
