  1. Hey Mrs. DiPrince I posted my MWP2 this morning around 11 clock. I was going to just email it to you but Im out of town and dont have my syllabus so I didnt know your email address and it wasnt on the directory so i figured this would be the best way to contact you. I will be in class on wednesday. So i could bring you a hard copy then. My email address is t_williams_77@hotmail.com. Thank you
