the 
seniors are able to present to us.  It's basically their night to share 
and 
present what is on their hearts.  More information will be given about 
senior banquet night, so keep a heads up for that.  If you haven't told 
anyone that you are going to attend the senior banquet, please email

like 
to get them back to the right person.  if you hand in a hard copy 
please 
place your name on the back of the picture somehow, and after they are 
scanned, they will be returned back to you.
<br><br>
     Alright i think that's all for this week.  I think this is the 
longest 
email i've written ever, next week will be alot shorter.  i just wanted 
to 
say... persevere.  with the end of the year coming up and all the work 
pilling up, i know it's hard to endure, but Christ endured and He 
suffered 
for us all.  as we go to class and do our thang let's remember that.  
May 
God's joy be upon your hearts this week.
