If you have not had your photo taken with Ralf’s photography before the end of October, you run the risk of not making it in the portrait section, and instead being listed as “not pictured”! Second, don’t forget about senior ads! If you are interested in having a senior ad included in the 2020 yearbook, be sure to order before Nov. 1 if you would like to avoid a price increase!
