Happy March!

I have made the decision to start the process of becoming a nationally board certified teacher! Coming home today is a student release form that is printed on gold paper. I know you signed one at the start of the school year but I need this specific copy for the program. It is to allow me to use work samples and possibly some photos to submit with each component. Please return either way. Thank you!
