To the Seniors
All models need to purchase a ticket for the style show. The style show producer will assign each model an outfit to model from either Dillard's or Tootsies.  Assignments will be made at the producer's discretion and the position of the girls' names in the alphabet will have no bearing on the assignments.  All senior girls participating in the 2008 Style Show should note that fittings are scheduled to take place the week of April 21st after school and in the evenings. Once the fitting times and locations are assigned, senior girls should plan to be at the assigned store 10 minutes before their fitting times.  Any girl who cannot meet her scheduled fitting time should arrange to swap with another model who wears the same size and is fitting at the same store.   Please let the fitting room moms, Sandy Zeluff and Linda Schroeder, know by sending an e-mail to SAAmodels2008@gmail.com . Each model's outfit will be pulled and waiting for her when she arrives at the store for her fitting appointment.  If a model switches fitting times with another model and does not let the fitting room moms know, her clothes will not be available when she arrives for her fitting. Fitting times and locations will be announced the week of April 14.  That information will be placed on this web site. 
Tiger Tracks
