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

Tue Jan 7 07:53:11 UTC 2014

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
