NED show

Today we got to go and see something called the NED show.  It was a program dedicated to setting goals and challenging yourself to be awesome.  The kids loved it! In order for us to receive this program for free, we agreed to sell NED yo-yos. Kids took home an order form today.  They will be sold next week before school.
