HELP A FELLOW FALCON ALUMNUS.....



  • one of my previous students (Miguel P) from a LOOOOOOOONG time ago is getting married (yes, Ms. Chan is old!) and is trying to win a contest to get free photography services for his wedding

  • if you'd like to help a fellow Flanagan alumnus (and Geometry Honors survivor), then follow the directions below:

  • All you have to do is go to the FB page for Blue Bridge Photography (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Blue-Bridge-Photography/92548223730), like the page, and then just comment with "Miguel and Megan" on the wall. The more votes we get, the higher chance we have of winning! The last day to enter is Thursday, and they will announce the winners on Friday.

  • From Miguel: "Thanks so much for doing this! Tell your students that if we win, I will personally stop by and give them a one-of-a-kind mathematics lesson (or tell them that I'll stop by and say hi and make sure they don't do any work that day)."

  • i don't know if he can really get you out of doing work for an entire class, but I am sure he and Megan would be eternally grateful for your help in making their wedding day a day they will remember forever and ever and ever.... =)
