Scholar Athlete:

Below is the ordering information for parents to purchase photo prints of the scholar-athlete groups. All group photos taken at the February event as well as the award winners are available to view and order on-line. The March group photos will be added to this on-line gallery when that event happens, so the ordering information will be the same, just updated to add the new groups.

Parents need to go to our ordering website:  www.gsorder.com

The shoot key for them to enter and view all photos is:  7QB2K5UE

The site limits the display to 8 images per page, so parents will have to page along to find their student's school group (the award winner photos are at the end).

Once they find the photo they would like to order, they need to click it and then the option to "Order Products". The ordering options, 3 print sizes: 8x10, 10x13, and 11x14 are

available to select. They will choose the size they would like, add to cart and follow the check-out instructions. Their photo(s) will be mailed directly to the address they provide when ordering. They will receive their photos in approx 2-4 weeks from ordering.
