The PTO extends a special recognition to Sherri Gray for her many years of devotion to school photos. Wednesday was Sherri's last "Picture Day" at Colebrook School. We are most grateful to Karen Odell for stepping up to take Sherri's place next year. Sherri
we thank you for all the smiles!
As a 6th
grade parent and PTO Chairperson for school pictures, this was my last opportunity to assist the photographers at CCS. I want to thank all the smiling faces over the past 6 years on picture day! It was never a hardship making sure each picture captured the best image of our beautiful children. Thank you, Karen Odell for your help on picture day and for generously volunteering to take my place as the PTO's new Picture Chairperson. Thank you!
