Birthday Party, Mayne!!!!!!

Dear SAGE Idols:

First of all, you were AWESOME at the talent show. Our class' skit was definitely the best!!!! Were Justin and I proud of you? You bet your sweet bippy (Robert, I don't know what that means. Am I using that phrase right?) we were!!!!! Seriously...it was the best. You are my heroes.

Some business before you come to Ben's Birthday Party at 10am:

1) PLEASE PRINT OUT PORTFOLIO #6 AND #7 IF YOU HAVEN'T YET! IF YOU'VE EMAILED IT BUT HAVE NOT PRINTED IT OUT AND HANDED ME A HARD COPY, DO IT NOW!!!

2) *Be Sure* that you have a PRINTED copy of whatever you are reading today for the class reading performance. If you think you have a printed copy, you should print another copy just in case! If you know you have a printed copy, you should print another copy just in case!

David is not invited to the party...sorry everyone.
