Thank you!!!
I would like to thank the Arlt family, Spencer family, Ferreri family, Burrows family, Seitz family, Mandziara family, Veverka family, Stoppelman family, Meyer family, Baer family, Maghirang family, Uhlen family, and Cione family for volunteering to develop rolls of film. Please try to get the film in by Monday. This way I can sort the pictures by student before we begin working on our memory books on Tuesday.
