General Announcements:

• Friday, May 7: We will be meeting at 8:30 directly at Helen Hills Hills Chapel for a hip-hop rehearsal. There is an essential e-mail from Amy about coordinating transportation to and from Smith College. We need to know:
  • If you need transport from HCCPS to Smith at 8:15
  • If you can drive from HCCPS at 8:15
  • If you can drive from Smith to HCCPS at 9:30 - We need to transport the whole class back and, due to scheduling, the bus is not an option.
• Share Your DC Pictures! Pick up to 20 of your best shots from DC to upload to the group account at Photobucket for official trip documentation. Sort photos into the albums for Monuments/Memorials, Museums, People, and Other. Email Grace if you need the login information or if you have trouble logging in. The account is private, but I have a separate guest password to pass along to parents, grandparents, etc. which grants view-only access.
