SENIOR SLIDE SHOW It is time to gather pictures for the SENIOR SLIDE SHOW. The yearbook staff will be preparing this annual tradition and we need your help. We are asking for a kindergarten and an 8th grade picture. It can be the graduation picture or just the posed school day picture. (If your child was in the Stroud yearbook their 8th grade year or Kindergarten year, I have those pictures. If you aren't sure, email us and we will let you know.) We would also like any group pictures of growing up that you would like to share. Sports teams, birthday parties, field trips, playing together. Please get these to us no later than April 18, 2025. They can be submitted by e-mail to shsyearbook@stroud.k12.ok.us. Please choose actual size if given the option. Or send them to school to Ms. Benton and the yearbook staff. Please include a self-addressed stamped envelope for them to be returned. Or they can be returned to your student. Thank you.
