Our update form section, "Make Connections With Your Classmates and Friends!" was a huge success. In fact, it was so successful that due to limited space we will only be able to publish a few updates at a time.
To protect the privacy of our readers and those who submit their Connections update forms, we will publish the news items only. If you would like more information on how you can connect with your classmates or friends, please contact us at (308) 638-7127 and very soon you will be able to submit your update online!
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all who sent us their "news". And, a special thank you to those who sent a monetary contribution with their update forms. It truly is heart warming when gifts are received when you least expect it. Thank you again – have fun making Connections with your classmates and friends!
