do not have proofs provided in order to keep the cost lower. 2. On picture day students should come to the studio 15 minutes before their scheduled picture
time. Only 1 adult will be allowed to accompany the student. The studio gets very crowded so we must ask
that you not bring friends, siblings and extra adults. 3. We will be putting together a memory book for the year to highlight the students and their activities.
This book will include class pictures taken throughout the year as well as the studio class pictures.
The recital schedule will be included along with the student's names and dances. Also, students will have the
opportunity to sell good luck wishes/ads to friends and families that will have their picture featured.
I will have examples by January as well as the prices. Books from last year are available if you would
like to see them. 4. Any student selling more than 10 ad pages will be entered in a drawing for a free class for
