I apologize in advance for the drastic change, but this needs to be done.
Please continue to enjoy all posts, pictures, and announcements until August 10th. On August 11th, you will be able to request to join the group again. However, this is a STRONG REMINDER that every one MUST respond to the security questions AND include the name(s) of the enrolled students before access will be granted.
