Other thoughts

***If anyone hasn’t paid for their t-shirts,  please pay Mrs. Pack asap.  

Discuss their rooms and that no one should be sleeping on the floor, etc.  Everyone sleeps in a bed.  Someone needs to be in charge of their room and make sure everyone is up in the mornings.  Everyone is to be downstairs for breakfast at 7!  

Don’t get in trouble!
