Circus School

Hi Everyone,

Great work tonight. Thank you for being on time and so great to work with.

This adventure we are about to embark upon is going to cost a bit...please work on those ads.

You can totally go over the $75. I encourage you to do so. Perhaps at your parents work place....that business might want to place an ad or give a contribution. Who knows?

Get some rest.
