[Sagamore Online] Kindergarten Open House

[Dave Allen Barker Jr]

Done <http://sagamorehillspta.org/> (requested PTA homepage changes).

While I was taking note of the video from last year that was removed 
(and noting other Sagamore YouTube videos I found 
<http://www.9.0ne.org/w/Sagamore_media>), I found a Sagamore promotional 
video from Andrea Sharman <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_c_wKOKnXss> 
that seemed pretty worthy (was it made for Kroger?).
