Hello everyone!

Hope all your finals are going well! Almost done!

T-Shirts are in! We were expecting to pick them up last week but there was a delay at the print shop. Unfortunately, most of you have already left for break so we are going to officially hand them out after break. If however, you would like yours before break, please email Eli (treehousesocial@gmail.com) before Friday and she will set up a time to meet you.

Have a relaxing break! See you all in the new year!
