2. Walk-in Dates & Times for Yearbook Portraits - Last Chance. KSSP Photographic Studios, your senior yearbook portrait photographer, is offering walk-in yearbook portrait sessions for students that have not already had their yearbook portraits taken or who do not have scheduled appointments. The dates for these walk-in sessions are Wednesday, September 3, 3pm - 7pm; Thursday, September 4, 3pm - 7pm; and Saturday, September 6, 9am - 3pm. The cost of the session is $25 + sales tax (=$26.81) which includes retouching. The sessions will be at the KSSP studio - 330 Central Ave., Fillmore (805) 524-6400. Students are reminded that appropriate dress is required. This is the last chance to get yearbook pictures taken for the yearbook.
 We want ALL seniors in the yearbook, so if money is an issue, the photography studio has offered a reduced sitting fee of $10 (no tax) during the three walk-in days next week. If you choose to pay the reduced fee, you will NOT be given a choice of poses for the yearbook picture.
