Lou Gehrig and a Reminder

In reading class we just read a story about Lou Gehrig, the famous New York Yankees baseball player who died in the 1940s at age 37 from ALS, now called Lou Gehrig's disease. We watched a short part of a documentary about it in class today, featuring his "luckiest man on the face of the earth" comments, and I thought I'd try to post the video on the website for you to see. It's only 2 minutes long, and worth the click. You should be able to go to the site from this email. The video on on the right. Click the image of the video and a larger screen will appear.

Tonight is a Work Night here at school. Volunteers take care of general maintanence around school. It's a good opportunity to volunteer, and a big help to all of us - teachers, staff, and students alike. It starts tonight at 6:00.
