Friday
You may finish watching The Alamo (John Wayne) on your own or you may join me at Lewis Hall before Fab Friday to finish watching it. If you want to watch it at Lewis Hall, come at 10:30 and bring $3 for pizza and a drink. When the movie is over we will go to the Real Life Center for community service. I can transport four students to the Real Life Center. If there are more students than that who want to watch the movie, I will need one or two parents to drive kids to Fab Friday. Let me know if you are coming and if you can help drive.
