What you need to know:
Class of 2022, graduation is just around the corner. Senior Sunday is our chance to honor your accomplishments and that special milestone of graduating and we like to do it up BIG. On May 1st we will be honoring you in all of our Sunday morning services and having a special breakfast provided by your Senior LifeGroup leaders. We’ll also be awarding the 2022 Eric Petty Memorial Scholarship! That evening we’ll have a special banquet for you and your parents. This night is always a special evening of good food, meaningful conversations and lots of fun memories.
What we need to know:
We have a Google form set up form for you to turn in some information about your high school years (extracurriculars, sports, jobs, etc) and a picture. Please fill that out by March 31st! We will take all that info and pull it into a booklet, slides, social media posts and more. Tell us all about YOU!
Send us a high quality head shot photo:
You can submit a digital high quality and high resolution picture either through the Google form. (it’s the last step-just follow the instructions), or by emailing it to Maria at mthomas@burnthickory.com. If you don’t have a digital copy, please bring a photo that we can scan and return to you.
This photo doesn’t have to be a professional photo! Cap & Gown photos or Senior Formal Photos are great, but if you step outside during “magic hour”, get some nice natural light, and use some of those instagram skills (put the camera in someone else’s hands to take the pic!) you can snap your own picture. Please make sure it is a head & shoulders photo, not a photo taken from far away. These photos will be used in several different ways, so we really want to make sure you LOVE your photo and we want to make sure it will not look pixelated when we print it. Please don’t send a picture of a picture. We’ll scan it if you need us to. If you have questions please contact Maria and she’ll work with you to make sure your photo works!
