Attention Fall Sport Parents and Students:
The EHS Journalism/Yearbook Staff is excited to offer sports pictures for all athletes at Ellis Jr/Sr High School. Unfortunately, we were unable to provide online picture ordering this year due to high shipping costs, which added over $8 to each order. We believed this was too much of a burden for parents.
Instead, we created an order form that is being sent home with students. We took steps to ensure that all students received this form by the end of this week.
To order a Memory Mate or an individual picture of your athlete, please use the order form that was sent home. Pictures were taken of all participants who attended picture days, including those from both junior high and high school. If an order form did not make it home with your student, please use the link below. Additional forms are also available in the office. The cost is only $20!
Orders are due by Wednesday, October 8, 2025. The order form can be found online: https://5il.co/3qpwd. Thank you for your support~EHS Journalism/Yearbook Staff.
All Ellis Jr/Sr High School Students should have received school picture ordering information. Students who missed picture day will have their photos taken on the retake day, Thursday, October 16, 2025. The deadline for ordering pictures is Friday, October 24, 2025. Please check your email for more detailed information!
