Mikhael was up in the morning and about to go free ride with his friends. He wasn't suppose to work but we really needed an instructor. We asked if he could teach instead of free riding and he said yes. It was such a big help and weight off of our shoulders to have that lesson covered. Thank you so much for willingness to work in our time of need. You rock!

Please give Miles Caputo $10 MCSAT core value for his suggestion that we look into a way to recycle or upcycle old, battered metal and plastic name tags, instead of throwing them in the trash.
