Dear Parents and students, 

  I am sorry that I have not blogged sooner.  I have tried numerous times, but I could not gain access.

  Thrilled is what I am to start a second semester with all my former and new students.

  I would like to remind you that there is an Open House this evening from 6:30- 8:00, and I would love to meet you. 

  My e mail address is Susan1.Turner@cobbk12.org.
