Weekly Update 9/20-9/24/10

Whipkey's Weekly Update ~ 9/20-9/24/10
Hi Everyone!
We had ANOTHER fantastic week together! Please be sure to call or email me to set up a time to discuss concerns or issues. I am generally working before and after school to get ready and caught up for the next day, week, month, etc., so having a heads up that you need to talk is helpful. Of course dropping in now and then is fine, but I'd prefer to know when to expect you. Thanks!
