Good Morning Birch Lane Families,

As you know, Veteran’s Day, November 11th, is a day for our country to honor all of the men and women who have served in the Armed Forces of America. To demonstrate our gratitude and respect for our veterans, we would like to continue our tradition of creating a Wall of Honor on which we will display photos that commemorate our veteran’s heroic contribution to our country.

Good Morning Birch Lane Families:

It was brought to our attention that our Picture Day photographer, Patken Photography, changed processing companies for their credit card payments, and the new vendor requires the CVV number to process payment. As this change was made after the forms were printed, there was not a space left on the order form for the CVV number.

For anyone whose child went today and paid via credit card, you will receive a phone call from Patken’s office for your CVV number. For anyone whose child is going tomorrow, if you could add the CVV number to the credit card payment area on the order form, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your cooperation!

Good Afternoon Birch Lane Families,
