Class of 2025 Parents- photo submission deadline for the Class of 2025 video is January 21, 2025.
The Class of 2025 Video is a photographic timeline that will remind us all of the friendships and growth that our children have experienced since Kindergarten. The video has become one of the most anticipated components of the Harding Academy experience, with special viewing parties for parents and students in May. Also, we will share a link to the video after the students and parents have seen it so each family may have a copy of it. To ensure each student is represented equally in the video, we need each family to submit 20 photos of your child by January 21. We cannot produce this video without your help! Thank you in advance for your prompt attention to this!
Guidelines:
1. Cull through your photos from the past 10 years.
2. Choose a max of 20 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 PreK, please submit photos that are representative of your child's earlier years (PreK-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 school picture to please submit this additional school photo. This additional photo would be a 21st photo submission.
5. Title your photos as follows: THIS IS SUPER IMPORTANT:
Title your photos as follows: grade_LastName_FirstName.jpg

if submitting more than one photo in same year then add A/B/C/etc:
