Last chance to purchase a Camp Amigo DVD, Please send in $6 with your
child. The DVD includes over 350 pictures and is about 30 minutes long. All proceeds will help pay for our next years trip.
As the school year draws to a close, I talked to the students about getting in and
test retakes, extra credit, and late work. I will not be accepting work after next Friday.
