Hello all! Unfortunately I have had to go to NC due to a health incident with my dad’s diabetes that sent him to the ER on Thanksgiving Day. He is ok, I am working through getting him the best possible care before I return to school on Wednesday. It is such a surprise when your parents get to the age where you are taking care of them! ![]()

To keep the Mid-Term Magazines Rolling, on Monday the following needs to happen:
- Create 3 Magazine Publishing Teams-should be 5 people each, mix boys and girls, I trust ya’ll can handle that as it is your mid-term, choose wisely. I need ONE person from the Team to REPLY HERE and let me know the people in the group and the name of the Publication.
