Planner Problems

It has been brought to the teachers attention that studentplanners have been falling apart very easily this year.Unfortuantely the plastic is not as strong and it is causingplanners to break. Due to this, Ms. Textor will be going toWal-mart and purchasing more student planners. If you oyour student would like a new, stronger planner you maypurchase it through Ms. Textor. Cost of the planners will b$5.00. New planners will not be exactly like the school onethat were handed out and may look different than before.
