Bring Your Ear Buds -- Students, you will need to bring your ear buds to computer class each week. Please tell your parents that it is not necessary to have an expensive pair; ear buds or head sets may be purchased at dollar stores. Please remember to put your ear buds in a baggie with your name and grade.
