As we are moving forward with technology integration I have decided that printers seem to be a hassle of the past. so instead of printing or handwriting I am going to have written work turned in via Google Docs with the use of your Warriorlife account. If you already have a password hat is awesome, if not I will have them for you next week when everyone has schedules sorted out.
Welcome to the New Year!
