---- Misc ----
Martinsville students must sign new membership agreement ASAP. For insurance purposes, students must sign a new membership agreement before they are allowed on the floor for any other classes. Thanks to everyone who has been offering help as we move into the new martinsville school. Your support has been greatly appreciated. Special thanks goes to Richard Allison, Tyler Sipla, Mike Ksenak, Chuck Grimmett and his brother James, Rick Neel, the Yoshidas, and Jennifer Sieg for all the manual labor.

Back to school stuff:
As we did last year, we will be sending a letter home with our students to take to their teachers at the start of the school year. It basically states we share a common interest in the students and to let us know how we can help. We do not mean to circumvent your parental authority, but merely want to offer our assistance and to stress the importance of school.
