VanWeekly

March 8, 2018

Hi Vanguardians!!


It is March! Spring is in the air! I love the warmer weather, however this also means the school year is rapidly coming to a close. Please make sure you are keeping up with your coaching activities. 35 points are required AND you have to complete 15 points from the optional sections.


Next Thursday, Joe Cambre will be hosting a 1 hour OneNote tips and tricks session. Look for more information in TEAMS early next week.

Switching from buttons that take up lots of space... Hopefully, it is still just as effective :-)
