Notes

Whoa!! Today felt like such a busy day. The highlight was showing off our group picture from the Live Power Farm trip. We look exhausted. : )

If you are interested in a Live Power t-shirt or hoodie, I've sent the order info to your parents. Don't forget the orders need to be in by the 22nd.


Joke of the Day

A college student said to his mother, “I decided that I want to be a political science major and that I want to clean up the mess in the world!”
“That is very nice,” muted his mother. “You can go upstairs and start with your room.”
