Team 7-A Math/Geography

Thought for the Day:
Always remember to say “Thank You;” it makes others feel your presence.

Announcement—We will still accept money for the dance only. T-shirts we can not. Please put money in the envelope with Karen Lemmons on the front and send to office for Tammy to hold. I will pick up and send receipt back to student. Once the actual invitations are given out…we will still accept money, they just will not receive a keepsake invitation.

Invitations already sold will be giving out 5-4-07. We hope to have the t-shirts handed out that day also. KAREN LEMMONS
