[Sagamore Online] Kindergarten Open House

[Dave Allen Barker Jr]

I've made sagamorehillspta.org/openhouse 
<http://sagamorehillspta.org/openhouse> work with the last version of 
copy I saw.

So now (unfortunately (and hopefully not forever)) we have a choice: 
possibly cuter address with less impressive surrounding content at the 
end (pta site <http://sagamorehillspta.org/>), or a more cumbersome 
address that looks better at the other end (school site 
<http://www.dekalb.k12.ga.us/sagamore>).
