Weekly Report #28

We had another busy week. I have been trying to close cookie sales- very time consuming- and cheer is at the end of the competition season so Nationals time is here- lots of preparation and traveling. We had a 4 day week due to traveling to Seattle and being at the cheer competition. We all started feeling ill on Friday. Which didn't make the trip home very fun.
