JOIN OUR CEL.LY GROUP by texting @HHSAPPSYCH to 23559 to join!
If I have important updates, I will text you. Right now, you cannot reply as I am just testing out this system.
None of us will exchange cell phone numbers. This is for updating important class information only.

Meanwhile, we still have our goat or waterbuffalo fundraiser to get re-dated via SAB-- and our new Unit 9! We are all tired after mid-terms-- but hang in there and keep at it!

ASSIGNMENTS: Jan 31- February 11th

Do something special this Valentine's Day. Make a donation and act to free a slave. There are 27 million slaves TODAY. We spent $17 billion on Valentine cards and candy last year. This could have freed and rehabilitated them ALL. Instead of a $5.00 card, buy a $3.00 and donate the $2.00.
Show what 'love' can do this Valentine's Day.

Sponsor: Center for Holocaust, Human Rights and Genocide Education (CHHanGE) at Brookdale Community College, Lincroft, NJ.
