I will need proctors for the PSAT. You will find a 1/2 sheet in your mailbox asking if you would like to proctor. It's easy money and you will be rewarded "handsomely" for your efforts. Even if you signed up during the counselors' presentation before school started, I will need you to sign up again. I seem to have misplaced the sign-ups I collected that day! The deadline for sign ups is 10/1. Thanks for your help with this. PSAT is Sat., 10/18, and you will need to be here by 7:30 and done by noon. There will be wonderful things served for breakfast as well. Questions, call x7964.
