ATTENTION

Email me at jzimmerman@k12tn.net so that I can send you an electronic version of the interview sheet.

I need these sent to my email so that I can email them to the state competition people.  If these are not turned in by the 30th (along with the permission slips) or our team may not be able to compete.  Which means that one person can cause an entire team to have a reduction in score or worse.

Also make sure that the permission slips have been turned into Ms. Mathis before lunch 3rd Block TODAY.

Keep working hard.
