Saturday, March 20, 2010!!

After last weeks break, we are now on track. Today, no one brought up any concerns. However, we were informed by Ken that the CRC is open during this coming Spring Break; THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE INFO KEN! Ms. Kathy informed and warned us about the midterm, E-portfolio, to be turned in our next meeting, March 27, 2010. GUYS REMEMBER, IT IS TO BE TURNED IN EXACTLY AT 9:15 AM. We have no class on that day; however, we must show up to turn our midterms, E-Portfolio, in.
