Teens can use the paper ballot or go online to: http://www.bccls.org/gstba/ Please send completed ballots or your tallies to: Laura Leonard H ...Continue Reading

I thought I’d share this site, it’s a good source for game templates you can use to create games (or spoofs of games) from TV like The Hollywood Squares, Who Want’s to Be a Millionaire, Jeopardy, and my favorite, the $10,000 Pyramid: http://www.murray.k12.ga.us/teacher/kara%20leonard/Mini%20T%27s/Games/Games.htm. You can download these PowerPoint templates and customize them.
