MSDCQ:  The NHL playoffs are just around the corner, and currently the Wild sit in 7th place in the Western Conference standings.  Right behind them, in 8th place, lurk the Columbus Blue Jackets.  Columbus' head coach is named Todd Richards, and oddly enough, he used to be the head coach of the Wild before Mike Yeo stepped in.  My question for you, for a Mr. Schmidt sticker tomorrow is: What high school did Todd Richards graduate from?

Hola Padres . . (parents) ~

Please take a look at the colorful brochure that I am sending home this week.  Smiles on the students said it all, as far as how they thoroughly enjoyed the learning via singing and dancing .
