  Dear Pelham Gardens Middle School Parents,

  The PTA Executive Board and Lifeway Photographers are hosting a Picture Day for all students on Thursday, April 24, 2025.  Pictures will be taken individually and by class group.  Students were given packets to take home (and this letter) which are to be completed, with payment due by Monday, April 21, 2025.

  Please do not permit your child to wear green or green color combinations (as it will negatively affect the photo).  Students should be dressed to impress!  We look forward to your participation!
