Dear Morrilton Primary School Families,
We want to inform you that Morrilton Primary School and the South Conway County School District have made the decision to cancel our contract with Lifetouch for school photography services.
As a district, our purpose is to Love, to Serve, and to Care For People. Every decision we make is guided by that commitment to our students and our community. After careful consideration, we believe this change best reflects our values and our responsibility to you.
Thank you for your continued trust and support.
Sincerely,
Sharon Wilson
Principal
Morrilton Primary School
