If you prefer, you can choose to complete a paper Order Form instead that your child can obtain from their Advisor.

Please fill out the form completely and enclose the EXACT payment (photographers cannot make change). Payment can be made online, or with cash or check - made payable to "Strawbridge Studios".
**Please note: orders placed more than five (5) days after picture day may incur a fee (this is due to the package being shipped separately and not with the group of orders coming to the school).

Japan Trip Update:
We’ve spent the last couple days in the village of Hakone. So many magic mountain moments here: breakfast made for us by a Buddhist monk, quality time with Mount Fuji, and foot soaks in the nearby hot springs! It will be hard for us to leave. We are bound for Kyoto this morning.

New American flags have recently been donated to both our MNCS school buildings by the Henderson Legion. The Elementary held a flag dedication ceremony yesterday morning and we were honored to have some special guests in attendance with us! We want to thank the Henderson Legion and Gary, Ned, Leo, and Bill for joining us for this very special ceremony. The flags will be throughout our school in remembrance and honor of all those who served and continue to serve our country, giving us freedom. With respect, honor, and gratitude, we thank you!
