XEROX IS DOING SOMETHING COOL! Go to this website, www.LetsSayThanks.com and you can pick out a thank you card and Xerox will print it and it will be sent to a soldier that is currently serving in Iraq . You can't pick out who gets it, but it will go to a member of the armed services.   The website has thank you cards back from soldiers who have said what a lift having their name called for mail call is.      

  There is a webpage that is designed to help people study for tests and quizzes. I have placed all of the Science vocabulary on this site. You can go there to help prepare for quizzes. Go to this link and take a look. http://quizlet.com/user/dms8a/
