Re: Is my kid the only one

Re: here's what I'm doing with our HOD to prepare for the year

Great job!! You are super organized. Good luck with your school year. For those wanting a comb binding machine: I ordered one from BindingMachine.com earlier this year. It was on sale for $19.99, down from $99.99. I haven't used it yet, but a few others who bought it have used it and love it. The si...
