[nabs-l] adjusting to high school (was: Re: [] new year)

[Darian Smith]

Hi all,
 as to the question of who might  join this call, I would say that if =
you are in 8th grade up to about 10th grade  this call might very well =
be a call you want  to be on.
  Spread the word to friends and make sure the flyer that was sent out =
to the list  gets to folks!
  Best,
  Darian  =20
