“Due to the current construction at G. Ray Bodley High School, the location for Thursday’s Senior Picture retakes for the 2010 Fultonian Yearbook has changed. Students are asked to enter through the temporary main entrance in the teacher’s parking lot and pictures will take place in room 132 rather than the auditorium. Room 132 is right around the corner from the entrance, which will make it easier for everyone involved.
The photographers will be at GRB from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Thurs. Aug. 27. There is no charge for students who did not have their portrait taken in June, but there is a $10 retake fee which will be collected at the time of the pictures.”
“We’re very excited to celebrate” the news, said Betsy Conners, Executive Director for Instruction and Assessment, who got the news from the state in advance of an expected public announcement today.
High school principal Brian Schmitt said the high school hit state benchmarks in the English language arts test and improved overall.
