Have you been selling mattresses?  Don't forget to put your referrals down then follow up with them: http://tinyurl.com/lhsmattress  I want to see YOUR name on the referral list!  I will give you 2 XCR points per name per name on the referral list....and 10 XCR points per name that buys a mattress! 

MATTRESS FUNDRAISER: ENTERTAINMENT
The link will come out via SignUpGenius this week for our entertainers. If you are interested, sign up: http://www.signupgenius.com/go/20f0e49aba82faa8-mattress. All performers must perform for me Tuesday or Wednesday at lunch next week.

Girls in Choral Union: some of you need to get your skirt hemmed.  I must cut them in preparation for that on Friday after school.  If you are one of those people, I will tell you in class.

ACCOUNT STATEMENTS
This week you will be receiving your first account statement.  Be sure to stay on top of your account so that you aren't surprised in May.
