Spring Pictures
Dear Parent:

St. John Photography will be visiting your school to take Black & White Candid photographs of your children on: April 5th & 7th
Frequently, candid shots produce excellent results in comparison to studio portraits.  Individuals are having fun – doing what they normally do – so they appear natural and relaxed.  Dress your child as you normally would, formal clothing may inhibit his or her activities.

If rain is forecast, please assume that any showers will be brief and pictures will be taken as usual.  If the shoot is rescheduled, please bear with us – pictures taken outside are much nicer than ones in front of artificial backgrounds.

There are no up-front fees or obligations to purchase any of the prints.  Proofs will be available online for you to view the week after pictures are taken.

St. John Photography has photographed children at many schools in the Charlotte area; and we know you will be pleased with the truly unique images they are able to capture.  Please call St. John Photography directly with any questions you may have.

Wednesday: April 5th: Little, Mullis, Moldenhauer, Angle, Hoffman, Brynildsen, Cheuvront
Conner, Jaynes, McEntire, Hamilton, Gioeli
Friday, April 7th: Beni, Perry, Russell, Martin Pagan, Wigley, Pazun

Sincerely,
St John Photography

18th Annual HGCS Golf Tournament
"The purpose of this year's tournament is to partner with family members and local businesses to enhance our efforts and equip our students with the tools needed to build Christian character and a Biblical worldview.


The registration fee will include greens fees, cart, boxed lunch, beverage cart, a post-tournament awards dinner and a gift bag. Most importantly, these fees will generate funds that will support our academic, art and athletic programs and will ultimately affect each student who walks through the doors of HGCS.
For more information about the tournament, sponsorship opportunities or to register, please visit hgchristian.org/AAA"
