On the Second Thursday in September, National School Picture Day reminds us to put on our best smiles.
Picture Day creates memories that last a lifetime. Not only that, but the day makes moms and dads radiate with pride and joy. Whether they capture the first toothless grin or the start of adolescence, school pictures are a tradition dating back generations. They mark time, much like the hash marks on a growth chart. By graduation day, families bring their children full circle. A complete collection of pictures chart their children’s primary and secondary school years.
While school pictures capture milestones, they also create a feeling of belonging. As they fill yearbooks, finding their place among the pages gives them a sense of their school community. Additionally, a school picture serves as a tangible reminder of their school-aged years.
