Article Topics -Important!
For some reason, when we entered names of writers and artists onto the electronic version of the topic list for the November Issue, the changes we made did not save. Therefore, we do not have a complete list of who is writing and producing art for each story topic.
Please, email Mrs. Kupiec at ckupiec@bernardsboe.com ASAP with your assignment for this issue. We need to have your topics on record!!
We are truly sorry for the inconvenience and we appreciate your timely cooperation.
Also, please note the change in one of our sectional meeting dates: Features will now only meet in the morning on Friday, Oct. 9, and the location has been changed to Mrs. Kupiec's room, Rm. 214.
