The Class of 2024 Parents-
We need your help with the Class of 2024 Video! It is a photographic timeline that will remind us all of the friendships and growth that our children have experienced since Kindergarten.

Thank you in advance for your prompt attention to this!

Guidelines:
1. Cull through your photos from the past 9 years.
2. Choose a max of 18 photos to submit to the committee. We're looking for group and individual photos but request at least half of these be individual shots.
3. Please represent a range of years and activities. You may include things like sports (Harding & non-Harding), dance, Scouts, band/theater, summer camp, other
extracurricular activities. Please, no family photos. We’re looking for just your child, or your child with other Harding classmates. A good guideline is to submit 2 pictures of your child per grade, so your child is equally represented in each grade.
4. If your child has not been at Harding since Kindergarten, please submit photos that are representative of your child's earlier years (K-8 only; we’re not looking for baby/toddler photos). We want to ensure each 8th grader is represented equally, regardless of how long he/she has been at Harding. Again a good guideline is to submit 2 pictures of your child per grade. We would also like to request that if you have your child’s Kindergarten yearbook picture to please submit this additional photo. This additional photo would be a 19th photo submission.
5. Title your photos as follows: THIS IS SUPER IMPORTANT:
Title your photos as follows: grade_LastName_FirstName.jpg
1st_Smith_John.jpg;
if submitting more than one photo in same year then add A/B/C/etc:
1stA_Smith_John.jpg, 1stB_Smith_John.jpg
6. To submit photos, please email Misty White at whitem@hardingacademy.us.
We truly appreciate your help in sending the photo requests above.
