All of you should have your passwords and usernames in your email.
Please remember that you can only take it once. It is timed and some questions have multiple answers (the ones with the square checkbox)
You should have your ballad notes/handouts ready.

Remember that if you have old clothes that you no longer wear or fit, you can bring it to me to be donated to a girls orphanage in Tijuana. They are looking for clothes for girls aged 3-14 and shoes up to size 8.5.
If any boys have small shirts or unisex clothes, please feel free to donate also.
