Few days during the year carry as much weight as school picture day. Think about it, this one day each year is the most prominent record of your existence for that moment in time. Years later, when people blow the dust off their old yearbook or thumb through a family photo album, they will see your school picture in there and that is the image they will remember. Not your sweet breakdancing moves. Not your rad pegged acid washed jeans and Generra hypercolor t-shirt. They won't even remember that hilarious thing you said in social studies class that made everyone laugh and earned you a trip to the principal's office. They will remember your school picture that was taken right after gym class the day after the worst haircut you have ever gotten. Picture day is not just an event ... it's part of your story. It's a big deal, and it must be memorialized. Picture Day, I salute you.
