I forgot when the questions from the story we read today were due?
Hi mr. Joachim. Just a thought. I recall Mrs. Hammond asking mr. Shumski to give me more space on my server file.( because i played a big role in teaching last year's video production class) Is it possible he just put me in as a high schooler so i could have more space? It sounds like a total possibility, if high schoolers have more space than jr. high.
Katelinn,
The questions are due on Thursday.

Well, i guess that could be. R u fixing it, or is it no big deal.
