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.
