Hey, CRASC, for those of you that didn't get a copy last Wednesday, here's Connections! It's pretty awesome,so I hope you like it. While there won't be a January issue (since there's no general assembly, except for middle schoolers), I'm working to make February's worth the wait. Please send me your school's article as soon as possible, and I hope to see you at January's executive staff meeting!
