[Sagamore Online] Kindergarten Open House

[Dave Allen Barker Jr]

I thought we were just looking for a tight URL for printed materials. I'm going to see if I can't get sagamorehillspta.org/openhouse going by tonight. As far as what is parked there, I'm waiting to see the flyer (the final word(?) that also determines what gets posted to The Patch).
