Week 7

Sorry so late on blog this morning.  I am working on a music project and lost track of time :)

I believe our class consumed enough sugar yesterday to keep the candy companies in business for another year. As a result the talking was really out of control.  Quite a few TTM checks went out.  (I took one on myself)

WEEK 8 Thurmonds have snack and we also have BREAKFAST AND PJ DAY! (optional) I will be on campus by 8am-ish with chickin' mini's, doughnuts, OJ and Chocolate milk.  (I already spoke to those that carpool about saving some stuff :)  Please come early and fellowship! (FYI This is a good time to get all the talking out  LOL)

Also I want to put out there, the week of April 16th is mock trial week for Challenge B.  I would like to suggest a possible field trip or at least get the dates out to you as mom and dad, so you can take your children to go see this in action.  It is a lot of fun and one of the "big" things they will have in B next year.  More to come on this in a separate email.
